Pere Ubu - Rhythm King lyrics

rate me

There's a great moon-faced fact.

A great a-moon-faced fact.

There's a great a-moon-faced fact.

A great moon-faced fact.

Old man, don't sleep too long.

Old man, don't sleep too long.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

The river's got away and it won't go back.

That's a great moon-faced fact.

The river's got away and it won't go back.

Then it's time to depart.

- In the court of the Rhythm King.

My broken heart.

- Promise him anything.

Woe betide.

- The Lonely Highway.

The old man cried.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

Another great a-moon-faced fact.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

There's a man gone by.

Turnin on his head,

hangin by a coat,

he was heard to say...

There's a man gone by.

Turnin on ahead,

hangin by a coat,

he was heard to say...

There's a great moon-faced fact.

It busted out the back like a paper sack.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

It busted out the back like a paper sack.

Then it's time to depart.

- In the court of the Rhythm King.

My broken heart.

- Promise him anything.

Woe betide.

- The Lonely Highway.

The old man cried.

I'm a great moon-faced fact.

Another great moon-faced fact.

I'm a great moon-faced fact.

I'm a great moon-faced fact.

Old man - wait too long,

nothing be there but the pot gone black.

Old man, don't wait too long -

nothing be there but the pot gone black.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

Another night's pourin out from a smokin stack.

There's a great moon-faced fact.

Another night's pourin out from a smokin stack.

Then it's time to depart.

- In the court of the Rhythm King.

My broken heart.

- Promise him anything.

Woe betide.

- The Lonely Highway.

The old man cried.
