Lyrics[]
They say in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you made it
Oh I, do you
A funny thing,
the king who gets himself assassinated
Hey now, every time I lose
Altitude
You took a town by storm the mess you made was nominated
Oh I, do you
Now put away your welcome soon you'll find you've overstayed it
Hey now, every time I lose
Altitude
So divine
Hell of an Elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Never mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune faded
The medicated state of mind
You'll find is overrated
Oh I, do you
You saw it all come down and now its time to imitate it
Hey now, every time I lose
Altitude
So divine
Hell of an Elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Never mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune faded
Come on God do I seem bulletproof?
So divine
Hell of an Elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Never mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune faded
So divine
Hell of an Elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Never mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune faded
