Then it kicks your head in
All the way in on my hands
Then let him fall
Did you see him take a blow?
Got a ticket to a show
Goin' down again
Did you pass him at your feet?
Did you think at all?
Did you see the blood run down?
Gonna make
Gonna make
When the drunk one said
"Cat Stevens was the greatest singer"
Set him up
So set him up
Then let him fall
So set him up
When the lights are up
God save the King of New Orleans
Let him fall
Did you laugh at all
Did you see him on the street?
Gutter punks
You're all the same
When the people walked right by and said aloud?
Then let him fall
Try and see the beauty in his world
Then let him fall
To let it slip out of your mind
He's goin' down again
And he loves the girls
Gonna make
Turn him over in your hands
God save the King of New Orleans
Turn him over in your hands
God save the King of New Orleans
It's easier
Turn him over in your hands
Turn him over in your hands
Any way you look
Turn him over in your hands
Would you give him one more chance?
Set him up
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekend's over
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekend's over
And he loves the boys
But it rips your heart out
And the sun had nearly gone down
Twenty dollars 'fore the weekends over
So set him up
God save the King of New Orleans
Any way you talk it over
How dare they even look me in the eye?
Radio in my car
Radio in my head
Did you kick him in the head?
God save the King of New Orleans
In on my feet and shoulders
