Paroles de 'King Kong' par Daniel Johnston

They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

They came to his island
And they brought her with them
They wanted to get his picture
But they were surprised by his enormous size

And when he saw the woman
He took her without question
Because after all
He was the king

And he loved the woman
He loved the way she looked
But she wouldn't stop
Her screaming

But he loved the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
It was a bloody battle
But he fought it for his woman

And he climbed up a mountain
And he looked around
Some kind of forest
With all those dinosaurs

And he stripped his woman
He stripped her bare
But there was a pterodactyl
There!

And then a hero
Came and took his woman
And they fell off the mountain
Into some water

And then later
He came looking for his woman
But they were waiting
And they threw a bomb

And they tied him
And they took him across the ocean
And they chained him
And put him in the show

But when he saw his woman
He broke loose
And everyone fled in terror
And he was looking for her

And he overturned the train
He was looking in the street
And then he found her in her apartment

And He climbed up the Empire State building
It was like a phallic Symbol
And he took his woman
To the top of that towering temple

And he climbed up and looked around
Some kind of city
With all those skyscrapers
And all the cars

Just him and his screaming woman
They were finally alone
He loved his woman
You could see it in his eyes
His great big eyes

He loved his woman
From the moment he saw her
He was all choked up inside

But when the airplanes came
He was soon to die
But he hung on long enough to set his woman down
And make sure
She was safe

And as the bullets pierced
He looked at her so sincere
Before he fell
Because he loved his woman

They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

Who killed the monkey
Who killed the monkey
'Twas beauty
That killed the beast

And Willis O'Brien died
A tragic death
There wasn't much
That he had left

And Ray Harryhousen said
That when Willis died
That's when the king
Was really dead

They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

But he was the king
But he was the king
But he was the king
