This is where it all ends
And the kinda dream that you've never seen
Well, yeah

Hot damn, ooh, mercy ma'am
What the hell you doin' to me?
Ah, struttin' round with your head held high
What you tryin' to prove, girl?

Black haired missy, big brown eyes
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man, I'll do what I can
To take you off to the promised land

I'm a sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Sun king, honey
We can rule across the land

I'm a sun king, baby
With you I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, no

Hey, look out, little missy's about
Rippin' up the town, oh yeah
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you makin' me frown

Long legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man, I'll do what I can
To t-t-take you to the promised land

A sun king, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Yeah, a sun king, honey
We can rule across this land

I'm a sun king, baby, baby
With you I'll share my throne
A sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, yeah

Let me tell you people
Now, listen good

City crawlin' like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn, yeah
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
I see the sun begin to shine
I see the sun begins to shine

Sun king, baby, ow
Let me take you by the hand
Oh, sun king, honey
We can rule across this land

I'm a sun king, baby, yeah, yeah
With you I'll share my throne
Sun king, honey
I can't make it on my own, yeah

I'm a sun king, baby
Sun king, oh yeah
Sun king, baby
I'm a sun king, baby
Sun king baby
