歌詞: O.A.R.. King of the Thing.

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself
Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf
I bought myself a throne, to reside and let myself go
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know

What a long, long time, long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' through the rain, I already lost my mind
What a long, long time, it's been a long time

My days I've spent relaxin', so the night's relaxin' too
There's a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missin' you
So this time I swear, I will loosen my grip
On past times, bad lines, meaningless trips

What a long, long time, long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' through the rain, losing my mind
What a long, long time, yeah, it's been a long time

So, over and over, mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these forest trees, green that blind your eyes
And lounge upon that throne I bought, confer there with the wise

What a long, long time, long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' through the rain, I already lost my mind
What a long, long time, long time, yeah

So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear
For who? Now what can I do, but let you all come through my wall
And though some oppose, many of these things I know
Well, I'll stay right here alone in New York City and dream I'll get away

What a long, long time, long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' through the rain, I've already lost my mind
What a long, long time

It's been a long time, what a long long time
Long time, long long time
