King Of The Hill Lyrics

Twenty-four men
twenty-four boys
twenty-four brand new shiny toys
twenty-four beating hearts
but only one wins

gotta pass
hide the pain
a thousand lonely nights
just ahead of the rain
no one knows where the flesh starts
and the metal ends

the devil paid me cash for my soul today
so i'll take a little chance
you know that they're free anyway
and the view from the edge
it'll make your poor heart stand still
but it's worth the pain
when you're king of the hill

watchin' that chrome as it turns to rust
a head full of dreams
and a belly full of dust
you survive every day
on two hours' sleep

the thing about fast time
is it ain't fast enough
think about it, boy,
when you run out of luck
everyone knows that glory
never comes cheap

the devil paid me cash for my soul today
so i'll take a little chance
you know that they're free anyway
and the view from the edge
it'll make your poor heart stand still
but it's worth the pain
when you're king of the hill
yeah, it's worth the pain
when you're king of the hill

your addiction to the speed
is all it takes to make you smile
and the freedom that you need
makes a workin' man go wild

the devil paid me cash for my soul today
so i'll take a little chance
you know that they're free anyway
and the view from the edge
it'll make your poor heart stand still
but it's worth the pain
when you're king of the hill
yeah, it's worth the pain
when you're king of the hill
when you're king of the hill
when you're king of the hill
when you're king of the hill
when you're king of the hill
