Lyrics

King of the Background- Dayna Manning

Hallowed be thy name or the name of the company you keep
Everyone's the same but one wrote I shall be released

King of the harvest king of Big Pink king of the smile
Baby just don't think king of the background

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter

Molded voice of God feel the depths of brown bottles drank clean
Across the great divide every key can’t be made of ivory

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter
Find the right notes put words to measure
You've got to paint that perfect picture

King of the harvest king of Big Pink king of the Smile
Baby just don't think king of the background
Kenny and Johnny Bob and Levon
You were kings of their hearts but you had to move on
King of the background

Every success feels like a failure on that expectation meter
Find the right notes put words to measure
You've got to paint that perfect picture
