I'll Wear It Proudly

If you don't know what is wrong with me
When the bell rang out and the air outside turned blue from fright
If they had a 'King of Fools', then I could wear that crown
If they had a 'King of Fools', then I could wear that crown
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly

I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
Well, I finally found someone to turn me upside down
Well, I finally found someone to turn me upside down
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm

I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls
But in shameless moments, you made more of me than just a mess

And nail my feet up where my head should be
And nail my feet up where my head should be
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear
And nail my feet up where my head should be
Well, I finally found someone to turn me upside down

Well, you seem to be shivering, dear, and the room is awfully warm
Like a fifteen-year old kid wears a vampire kiss
We are arms and legs wrapped 'round more than my memory tonight
You have this expression dear, no words could take its place
And a handful of eagerness says, "What do you suggest?"

Then you don't know what you've missed
If they had a 'King of Fools', then I could wear that crown
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face
