Devils Den - Jefferson Starship

There is no color in the king

And he is softer than the queen

Confusion reignssometimes it reigns.

Now a colored sky never makes anybody cry

But a grey cloud always makes it rainsometimes it rains.

He only has the moves of a knight

But he wants the absolute freedom of a queen

Too bad the only money heЂ™s got is coming in

Colored american green.

You know itЂ™s worthless paper you can spend or save

Go ahead and count that by yourself but look out

SomebodyЂ™s looking

YouЂ™re supposed to do that by yourself — count it

He says heЂ™s not doing anything wrong he thinks

HeЂ™s just another part of the royal story

But does it always have to start that way

Always ending someday

With no manЂ™s warning.

DonЂ™t talk backsome ruler saysor everything

You need will go away

Every answer you think youЂ™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 doesnЂ™t make the man

But we all knowyes we all knowhe thinks heЂ™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 flyman must fly

Is that grey man sane

No colorno name.
