Here's a tale

That's lost in time

Forgotten tale
Of kingdom old

On mountain peak

There was a king

Who ruled with might

On golden throne

Forgotten throne

People loved their

King and queen

They ruled with love

But not for long

Betrayal fell

Upon the king

And his queen

On fields of gold

So long ago

All that's left are

Weeds and thorns

Where light once shined

On kingdom old
All that's left are

Memories
Of king so bold

And his golden throne

Forgotten throne

Shala la la la
Hold tight.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
These days are lost and long;
All things are crooked and cold;
I'm itching to be numb.
I don't wanna see or know.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Let me take you into my arms;
Shield you from weary and pain.
Who are they who’ve not known harm?
Oh love, I just can't say.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright
I'll sing you a tune –
When love dies in the dark.
A song for those who lose;
Life gone and took my spark.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
Shala la la la
Hold me.
The day is lost and long;
All things are crooked and cold.
We’re fixing to be numb.
I don't wanna see or know.
Shala la la la
Well it's alright.
Shala la la la
Get me through the night.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight.
Shala la la la
Hold me tight.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.
Shala la la la
It's gonna be alright.

Make her so she’s smooth
Make she so she’s calm
Make her seem aloof
Make her love your charm
Make your sacrifice
Make her impolite
Make her up with your imagination
Hold her in your room
Get her in your sights
And then re-animate her with your chat up lines
And if you shower me with diamonds
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you’re sending daily flowers
Plug me in and I’ll respond

You’re like a diamond in the rough

Tell her she’s no fool
Make her love mankind
Check that she’s online
Webcammed all the time
Forward to your friends
URLs for men
She makes them beg for their emancipation

Network her in Cannes
Newsgroups for her fans
A phenomenon you built in your lunchtime

And if you shower me with diamonds
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you’re sending daily flowers
Plug me in and I’ll respond

And if cover me with perfume
Plug me in and I’ll respond
And if you tell me I’m your girlfriend
Plug me in and I’ll respond




You’re like a diamond in the rough
Cover me, cover me…
