lyrics

King Merchant

I once met a man who lived on a hill
his name was King Merchant
His head was an illusion
he was from a town called worthless
He said life was just a game to him
his odds of winning were few
his odds of gambling were great
in his crazy state
in his mind state.

He'd wake up in the morning
and say "hello" to yesterday
I'd stop by his little window
and I'd tell him "hey, it's today"
He once joined an army
digging for fools gold
they left him there still digging
but he felt at home
oh he felt at home.

(chorus) Why am I King Merchant's friend?
Tell me why? Oh why?
And why does he nod along to everything I say?

I still know a man who lives on a hill
His name is King Merchant
He's still digging for fools gold
but not alone
he's with me.

(chorus)
