I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone
And I've never had no problems and my toilet's trimmed with gold...
My chase is endless I tend to obsess
No game lives up to my need to possess
But if you let me hold you I won’t hold my breath
And if you let me love you I will love you to death...
