I hope you never see me when I   drop that coat of honour   I hope you never try    Lately in the evenings   when I'm drinking like a monarch,   I feel too high      Dethrone and restate and cut the    fool down   Talk love and help love,   but cut the fool down      I'm walking in the silence   and I'm talking like a madman   I hope you'll never see   I'm hanging on this rope and my legs   are kicking air and God has left me      Dethrone and restate, cut the    fool down   Talk love and help love,   but cut the fool down      There's a shiver in my skin    and a snake within my mind    I'm so cold   And love was just a lesson,    a little bit of history    Oh it's so kind      Dethrone and restate, cut the    fool down   Talk love and help love,   but cut the fool down
