Devil's Den Lyrics

There is no color in the King 

And he is softer than the Queen 

Confusion reigns, sometimes it reigns. 

Now a colored sky never makes anybody cry 

But a grey cloud always makes it rain, sometimes it rains. 

He only has the moves of a knight 

But he wants the absolute freedom of a Queen 

Too bad the only money he's got is coming in 

Colored American green. 

You know it's worthless paper you can spend or save 

Go ahead and count that by yourself but look out 

Somebody's looking 

You're supposed to do that by yourself - count it 

He says he's not doing anything wrong he thinks 

He's just another part of the royal story 

But does it always have to start that way 

Always ending someday 

With no man's warning. 

Don't talk back, some ruler says, or everything 

You need will go away 

Every answer you think you've ever said is just a guess 

And the King of clocks just slowly locks up every day. 

Clocks strikes damn near perfect at night 

But it moves so slow in the morning light 

King says a crown doesn't make the man 

But we all know, yes we all know, he thinks he's born to glory. 

Until he dies by the devine right of Kings 

No one down here wants to give that man any golden wings 

And man must fly, man must fly 

Is that grey man sane 

No color, no name.
