Once Upon A Time by Shadow King
Once Upon A Time lyrics
A boy is born in a bed of thorns
He wears his halo hanging from his horns
City streets out of luck you lose
To get what you need
You do what you have to do
Count your blessings, count your tears
Some killing time, some killing years
Talk big, laugh loud - you better back it up
It's the bottom of the river
In the bottom of your cup
Living life in a tenement town
It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down
You've been there once
You don't want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way
Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time
Tenenment town, steeped in soul & sin
You know word gets round
They're gonna deal you in
But the one-eyed jack don't play him wrong
When the dirt goes down, you won't live long
Ain't no life in this tenement town
It'll beat you up, it'll bring you down
You've been there once, do you want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way
Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
I've been down before, you won't see me cry
No way, hey somebody's knocking
You can take what's yours - what's mine is mine
Hey, hey sonebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time
You can't go home again
You walk this world alone
Once upon a time
Ain't no life in this tenement town
It'll tear you up, it'll drag you down
You've been there once, do you want to go back
It's all been a lie
The world don't work that way
Hey, somebody's knocking
Just takin' what I need - that ain't no crime
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
I've been down before - you won't see me cry
No way, hey somebody's knocking
You can take what's yours - what's mine is mine
Hey, hey somebody's knocking
Somewhere down the line
Once upon a time
