Bling (Confession Of A King) - Live From The Royal Albert Hall / 2009

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
How do you know that you're right?

I awoke on the roadside
In the land of the free ride
I can't pull it any longer
The sun is beating down my neck

And so I ran with the devil
Left a trail of excuses
And like a stone on the water
The elements decide my fate
Watch it go

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
I'll tell you when it's over
Stand up, poor and tired but more than this

How do you know that you're right
If you're not nervous anymore? (Hey)
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
I'm pushing on for that horizon
I'm pushing on
But now I've got the blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the rip tide
Am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "Huh!", quite strange
I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
And I'll tell you when it's over
Shut up poor and tired, but more than this

How do you know that you're right
If you're not nervous anymore?
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

When I was younger
I had a glow
I wanted to make believe
I wanted to grow
But years have gone quickly
And things have changed
We just stand up
We just stand up

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
(Out of the fire)

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of the fire
Higher and higher

Higher and higher
We're gonna take it
Down to the wire
We're gonna make it
Out of -
Higher and higher

It ain't hard to hold
When it shines like gold
You'll remember me
