lyrics

Down with the king, they cried, who are you fooling
Everyone loses when playing your game
Howling beside all the coyotes at midnight
Somehow the moonlight remembered my name
Maybe we don't even need to worry
Maybe we were never in it alone

I took off my jacket and gave it to Jesus
Said that he needs it and shuffled away
Well, you laugh and you cry, you get high with your shadow
But deep in the marrow, we are the same
Maybe we don't even need to worry
Maybe we were never in it alone

And everybody is walking forward
Though we got a long way to go
Maybe we don't even need to worry
Maybe we were never in it alone
And everybody is walking forward

Down with the king, they cried, who are you fooling?
Everyone loses when playing your game
Howling beside all the coyotes at midnight
Somehow the moonlight remembered my name

For no reason I could explain to you For no reason I could explain to you
For no reason I could explain to you For no reason I could explain to you
