My mama had held me one time then kissed me goodbye
Bu I still believe in love
She never came back and I don't know why
But I still believe in love
She passed me her crown on her way out of town
But I still believe in love
She left me this kingdom to wear it around
But I still believe in loveHail the Orphan King!
Wth the crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
An alley cat court and a song to sing
I still believe in loveHail, Hail the Orphan King!
With the crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
An alley cat court and a song to sing
I still believe in loveYou don't know alone til you sit on a throne
But I still believe in love
And a castle ain't a home
It's just hunger and stone
But I believe in loveThe only love I had I borrowed and stole
But I still believe in love
Now the kindness of strangers is my ace in the hole
I still believe in loveHail, the orphan King!
With the crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
An alley cat court and a song to sing
I still believe in loveI sleep in parked cars I drink in graveyards
Woke up in the school-yard face down by a squad car
I am the KingHail the Orphan King
With a crooked smile and a crackerjack ring
And a crackerjack ring
It ain't easy being king
BUT I STILL BELIEVE
HAIL THE ORPHAND KING!
SUPERHERO OF SUFFERING
LIKE MOSES AND BATMAN
AND JAMES DEAN
I still Believe in love
