King of the Tide

Chorus

Wait for the tide

Wait for the tide

Just a suit and a tie

One more dollar for the ride

I am king

I am gold

I am the only hand you hold

I am gold

Verse 1

Purple lapels catching a flicker of red

Nobody knows what my brothers have said

Heavy ring

Gilded string

Stumble past the corner where the engine died

They told me the boss is waiting inside

Pre-Chorus

Ten steps up the stairs

Nine looks from the heirs

Eight locks on the door

Chorus

Wait for the tide

Wait for the tide

Just a suit and a tie

One more dollar for the ride

I am king

I am gold

I am the only hand you hold

I am gold

Verse 2

Check the pocket watch for the time

Cold barrels line up in a perfect crime

Slow burn

Point of no return

Limo parked outside with a shadow at the wheel

Click goes the hammer on the final deal

Pre-Chorus

Ten steps up the stairs

Nine looks from the heirs

Eight locks on the door

Chorus

Wait for the tide

Wait for the tide

Just a suit and a tie

One more dollar for the ride

I am king

I am gold

I am the only hand you hold

I am gold

Bridge

Locked in

Boxed in

Lost in the game

Say my name

Say my name

The velvet trap is closing shut

No more time for the final cut

Chorus

Wait for the tide

Wait for the tide

Just a suit and a tie

One more dollar for the ride

I am king

I am gold

I am the only hand you hold

I am gold
