We lived like kings
We owned the night
We were like three wise men
With a pocket full of zen
Blinded by the light
We lived like kings
Wo oh
We lived like kings

The golden days were over
Many moons ago
The young guns of a small town 
We let em go
We flew to planets of adventure
Like emotional astronauts
Never caring where the next chance came from
Never giving it a thought

We lived like kings
We owned the night
We were like three wise men
With a pocket full of zen
Blinded by the lights
We lived like kings
Wo oh
We lived like kings

The victories were cliches
In the battles that we fought
All our dreams and hopes
They came to naught 
The party was never over
And the sun never disappeared
Never knowing where the next thrill came from
Only caring that it did 

We lived like kings
We owned the night
We were like three wise men
With a pocket full of zen
In the blinding lights
We lived like kings
Wo oh
We lived like kings

Comin' round again
We're never comin' round again
Once we ran the world
Now we're running to the end


We lived like kings
We were like three wise men
With a pocket full of zen
La de dah
We lived like kings
Wo oh
We lived like kings
We gave up on the dreams
But they never gave up on us
We lived like kings
