Empire of the Sun - Palace of the King

Wealthy white Americans in dirt poor little places

The bad old days are right there just written on their faces

There’s a break down ahead, there’s a break in your heart

And I don’t find it funny when you’re busy screwing stars

Surfing on the wave and you wanna form a team

Where you can write your articles and you know we can live the dream yeah

Here in the empire of the sun

Here in the empire of the sun

They’ve got cameras on the corner down there

Got women on the mind it’s true

You‘re gonna follow in the footsteps baby

We’ve got real big plans for you

Sitting out the back yeah and thinkin' there of you

I gave myself the license to say my love is true

Don’t tell me your secrets and I won’t tell you mine

The perfect wave is out there you can have it any time

Here in the empire of the sun

Here in the empire of the sun

They’ve got ladies on the corner down there

Got cameras on the mind it’s true

You’re gonna follow in the footsteps baby

We’ve got real big plans for you

Got real big plans for you

You know it’s true they’re gonna walk all over you

You know it’s true ain’t nothin' you can do

You know it’s true they’re gonna walk all over you

Yeah yeah

Here in the empire of the sun

Here in the empire of the sun

Here in the empire of the sun

Here in the empire of the sun
