Spring

Oh, you had dinner with the king, huh?

Did you know he was the king
Or did he have to inform you?

See, they say Queen for a day, but—

It’s Kings

Kings are the ones

That come and go

With the day

What you need to understand

Sit down for a second

Relax

Nobody’s rushing anybody

Out of anywhere

It’s Spring, isn’t it?

Isn’t it Spring?

So where are we going?

The world’s slowing down

We don’t need to speed it up

Anyhow Kings—

They get made in a day

And they get tossed in a day

And every King thinks he’s going to be the one

To stick it out

So he sits across from you

At lunch

Or whatever

And he’s got his arms crossed

And he’s nodding his head at you

And he wants to know

What you want

From him

And you’re just sitting there

Thinking—

You weren’t shit yesterday

What happened?

What happened was

Somebody got a little bit of luck

And all of a sudden

There’s the crown

And there’s the thing—

The, uh—

The scepter

And there’s the ring

You better kiss

If you need something

From him

I know about it
Oh trust me

I know all about it

You don’t want to know

How many Kings I’ve sat across from

And how many times

I've wanted to say—

Unfold your arms

When you sit in front of me

Or I’ll wait until you’re down

And then I'll kick the shit out of you

...But I didn’t

I just let them have their moment

Because you don’t push somebody

Out of their spotlight

Even if they won’t let you stand in it

With them

You gotta just let ‘em have it

And hope they got a good spirit
And a good sense of humor

About their good, you know, that word again—

Luck

Even if you’re the unluckiest bastard in the world

You’re going to get at least a handful

Of good luck in your life

And when it comes

You better sit down

And enjoy it

And you better break bread

With somebody

Who’s going to let you enjoy it

You better spread it around

And hide it

In as many places

As you can

Because that’s the only way

You’re going to get some of it back

When you need it

You got to treat it like Spring

Like you never had it before

And you’ll never have it

Again
