Lodger 2 by The Brothers Gillespie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a day
When the stars outshone the moonlight
Darkened clouds
Swallowed up the sun

I was a lodger
In Western Block Berlin
At the Schwarzen Sterne
You said you were my friend

[Chorus]
And I see now
The folly of that name
In the picture I'm always standing out of frame
Can you cast aside your crown, Thin Duke?
We’re all counting on you
And I know that you'll be counting on us too

[Verse 2]
I saw you again
In a Hollywood Chateau
In a sea of champagne
Caught in the undertow
I heard your voice
Echo from behind me
You were callin for a friend
But no one came to mind

[Chorus]
And I see now
The folly of that name
In the picture I'm always standing out of frame
Can you cast aside your crown, Thin Duke?
We’re all counting on you
And I know that you'll be counting on us too

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Can you cast aside your crown, Thin Duke?
We're all counting on you
And I know that you'll be counting on us too
