  • My mama had held me one time then kissed me goodbye
    Bu I still believe in love
    She never came back and I don't know why
    But I still believe in love
    She passed me her crown on her way out of town
    But I still believe in love
    She left me this kingdom to wear it around
    But I still believe in love

    Hail the Orphan King!
    With the crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
    An alley cat court and a song to sing
    I still believe in love

    Hail, Hail the Orphan King!
    With the crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
    An alley cat court and a song to sing
    I still believe in love
    I sleep in parked cars I drink in graveyards
    Woke up in the schoolyard face down by a squand car
    I am the King

    HAIL THE ORPHAN KING!
    WITH A CROOKED SMILE
    AND A CRACKERJACK RING
    IT AIN'T EASY BEING KING
    BUT I STILL BELIEVE
    I
    HAIL THE ORPHAN KING!
    Still
    SUPERHERO OF SUFFERING
    Believe
    LIKE MOSES AND BATMAN
    In
    AND JAMES DEAN
