Gave my cloudless sky
for your crooked scraper
I put in everything
I called in every favour
but give a man one sword
he thinks that
he's a saviour
Watch him ride around
fucking weird behaviour
Guess I walked
so you could run
all the way from me
Cause once you got
what you want
you didn't want me
I put gold on
your head
should've put
wax paper
Did you get off
going to bed
with the kingmaker
Let you in my home
let you in my pictures
I was your pedestal
and all I got
was splinters
Should've seen it in
the way you hate
your sister
You love a strong woman
until it makes you bitter
Guess I walked
so you could run
all the way from me
Now you say
you're selfmade
guess your memory's fuzzy
I put a crown on
your head
should've put
a wax paper
Did you get off
going to bed
with the kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
I can't say
that I saw five
but I saw star potential
Another sweet sweet boy
that I took out
the kennel
Back when his ego
and his bark
were mostly gentle
Left me in pieces
for me to reassemble
Guess I walked so
they could run
all the way from me
but they don't have
big enough guts
for all that glory
They'll take my
crown head out west
and forget their creator
Then they'll come
back they always do
to the kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
Ah kingmaker
You double cross
you star chaser
You little boy
you word breaker
Now look at you
the big player
and look at me
the kingmaker
