And he sits in the grand stand alone

He's got this big smile on his face

He feels like he's just come home

Feels like he's finally, finally found his place

In the sun, he has won

He's the King of the mountain alone

Pigeongs fighting over scraps, yeah

Humans they say do not

Hiding from life and little naps

Waking up to find

You have been caught, you have been bought, yeah

You're the King of some mountain alone

Mmm...

Empty wrappers blowin'  past him in the breeze

He can still hear  last Sunday roar

He sits there and pulls his coat tighter over his knees

And he listens to these people who aren't there anymore

They were only there for

The King of the mountain alone
