Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay my belly on a woman
Leave a damsel for Delilah
Dagger for the damned, the damned, the damned
Fine wine and foie gras
[Verse 2]
In my view
Nothin's ever given away
I believe to advance then you must pay
In my view
They will never come my way
So when I leave
You'll be dancin' on my grave
[Verse 3]
I wanna be king until I am
A man is just a man, I understand
Has everythin', gone to plan?
Don't say it out loud just let me dance
[Verse 4]
I know you wanna
Say you wanna
I never said I was a saint
I was sent again
Sent again, and then a sinner
Again-again-ah
Again-again-ah
I really wanna, take your honor
I'm writin' blank checks
I'm a greedy bugger
I take your daughter
To feel the thunder
Daddy's little girl, now the reaper got her
[Verse 5]
In my view
Nothin's ever given away
I believe to advance then you must pay
In my view
Never, never come my way
So when I leave
You'll be dancin' on my grave
[Verse 6]
Lay my belly on a woman
Leave a damsel for Delilah
Dagger for the damned, the damned, the damned
Fine wine and foie gras
[Verse 7]
The torture makes it sweet
Just me, even more delicious
I know my resting beat
I'm no longer vicious
I know my resting beat
I'm no longer vicious
I know my resting beat
Say no more, baby
I know my resting beat
I'm  no longer vicious
So no more please
Just cradle, cradle
I'm no longer vicious
Say no more, baby
Just cradle, cradle, babe
[Verse 8]
In my view
Nothin's ever given away
I believe to advance then you must pay
In my view
Never, never come my way
So when I leave
You'll be dancin' on my grave
You're no longer vicious
[Verse 9]
Trickles down your mouth into your hands
I wanna be king until I am
I wanna be king until I am
I wanna be king until I am
Man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man
