New King - Constantines

Your mother and father

Walked out of the city

Bound together

As they were bound to be

To pull a fortune from a river

Drink the syrup from the tree

Kith and kin

When the ice gets thin

We’ll forage and we’ll fend

As you deliver we’ll begin

To deliver them

Your father on the radio

Your mother on the hill

Put these words together

With their bodies and their will

Kith and kin when the ice gets thin

We’ll forage and we’ll fend

As you deliver we’ll begin

To deliver them

Show your faces, hear the sound

There’s a new king coming 'round

They came to this world naked

To be sad inside the head

They will nurse and decorate you

And learn you how to stand

In your mother’s leather jacket

And your father’s cotton shirt

You look good into the light

Go down deep into the dirt

Kith and kin when the ice gets thin

We’ll forage and we’ll fend

As you deliver we’ll begin

To deliver them

Show your faces, hear the sound

There’s a new king coming 'round.

Your mother and father

Walked out of the city

Bound together

As they were bound to be

To pull the bed

From new beginnings

Of drift wood

And fallen leaves
