Heard a sound screaming down from all around

From loud speakers in the center of the square

Said my time was up, and all the spotlights focused down

Seemed like everyone I ever knew was there

Wandered home alone, past the palaces I'll never own

Kindom come, kingdom go

Saw the wave that was heading toward the shore

Though it moves me still it breaks what I have made

I need a hand, I can't shout it any more

Is it true yours is so effortlessly played?

There was a lucky rain in June

So you couldn't tell what I'd just been through

Kindom come, kingdom go

Traced the path with a smile and sympathy

Saw the circles and the spirals and the lines

Had to realize it really all was me

Had to tell myself a hundred thousand times

Shake my head and say, goddamn I guess I'm here today

Kingdom come, kingdom go
