Lyrics

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

I am the King

One dead marine through the hatch

Scratch and scrape this heavenly body

Every inch of winning skin

There's garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Come on and kiss me

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Stack the garbage junk

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey's child is taken over this place

Two dead marines standing in a row

Drink to me, my heavenly body

Every inch a winning thing

There's garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Come on and kiss me

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Stack all this junk

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey

Honey's child is taken over this place

Hack, hack, hack, hack, hack, hack, hack, hack, hack this heavenly body

Yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack goes junk-face

Scratch, scrape, scratch, scrape, scratch, scrape, scratch, scrape, this winning thing

There's garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Junk in honey's bunk again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey's sack again

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Garbage in honey

Junkyard king

Junkyard king

Junkyard king

Junkyard king

King, king, king, king
