Lyrics
You say to me "don't you love it when the king comes into town?"I tell the truth an' saysI don't know...You look at me an' wonder, "Is he deranged,or a lil' bit wicked?"I tell the truth an' say I don't know.Well you might be suprized at the way that the world is,life is a crime and the truth's forbidden...But I'll keep tryin' to fly with this iron will,an' I'll try not to get killed by the ones who make it so hard to be free...I found an'old lamp an' dusted,it gave me three wishes;I said,"Bring me to some whiskey,an' full breasted women,(keep the third wish).You may find that your heart's been jaded from so many times an'the good ones are faded...But I'll keep tryin'to fly with this iron will...etc.Flyin'blind,you need a decision.Made it this far just on intuition.So now you're clutchin'a stone just to hold somthin' sacred,you may find you've become what you're afraid of. Better whatch yer back,the truth is a hastle,only for those with a taste for disaster...But I'll keep tryin'to fly with thios iron will,an'I'll try not to get killed by the ones who make it so hard to be free.
