When the knight you left wakes up
And recalls your folly
You won't have time to right the wrongs
And you'll be sorry
I tried so hard to move you
To make you feel as I do
The ground below's not sound now
Babe, it's givin' way
And when your knight in armour falls
Oh, will you follow?
But when you opened up his head
The suit was hollow
I tried so hard to move you
To make you feel as I do
The ground below's not sound now
Babe, it's givin' way
"Fight", the good king said
"Ride the horse", he said
Notorious, Notorious
"Fight", the good king said
"Ride the horse", he said
Notorious, Notorious
When I am king you'll have your throne
And I will burn it
I tried so hard to move you
To make you feel as I do
The ground below's not sound now
Babe, it's givin' way
