I Was A King Lyrics - Jandek

I was a king 

When I was twelve 

You couldn't touch me 

No, no, no, no 

I kept you away 

I didn't think about it 

It wasn't important 

I was made 

Get out of my way 

But I liked (like?) to be with you 

Don't get me wrong 

It's just that a threat 

Was the furthest thing from my mind 

I don't feel the air 

I don't know what time it is 

Except the sun tells me now and then 

I got my clubs 

And I'm bursting all around 

You can't but see me 

I'm in front of you 

I'm all around 

I got inside of you 

Well here I am 

What you going to do 

I somehow flew here 

And we're together 

I was a king 

When I was twelve 

You couldn't touch me 

No, no, no, no 

I kept you away 

But I was with you 

I still am 

Today my thoughts are wrapped up 

In all my days 

I got my new doors 

So perfect and clean 

It's early someday 

I'm thinking about me 

And how I was
