Make me a rendevous and keep me alive

Point me away from you and hope I arrive

Put up a monument, remember my name

Will you shine up my memory when it's all that remains?



Build me a castle and throw a parade

Put my name in stone so the words won't fade

Start a religion and name it for me

Build me a city and give me the key



I'm King for a day, I can do no wrong

I'm King for a day 'til the next one comes along



Heroes are wonderful, I'm forced to admit

But out here past the Sun, that doesn't help me a bit

When you wake up tomorrow, I'll be light-years away

But you'll find some other hero to be King for a day



Build me a castle and throw a parade

Put my name in stone so the words won't fade

Start a religion and name it for me

Build me a city and give me the key



I'm King for a day, I can do no wrong

I'm King for a day 'til the next one comes along

King for a day



You are a King for a day

You are the King for a day



King for a day

King for a day

King for a day

King for a day



So build me a castle and throw a parade

Put my name in stone so the words won't fade

Start a religion and name it for me

Build me a city and give me the key



I'm King for a day, I can do no wrong

I'm King for a day 'til the next one comes along

King for a day

King for a day

King for a day

King for a day
