Testo King Kong - Daniel Johnston feat. Tom Waits
Testo della canzone King Kong (Daniel Johnston feat. Tom Waits), tratta dall'album The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered
They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king
They came to his island and they brought her with them
They wanted to get his picture
But they were surprised by his enormous size
And when he saw the woman, he took her without question
Because after all, he was the king
And he loved the woman
He loved the way she looked
And she wouldn't stop screaming
But he loved the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
And it was a bloody battle
But he fought it for his woman
And he climbed up a mountain
And he looked around
Some kind of forest with all these dinosaurs
And he stripped his woman
He stripped her bare
But there was a pterodactyl there
And then a hero came and took his woman
And they fell off the mountain into some water
And then later, he came looking for his woman
But they were waiting and they threw a bomb
And they tied him and took him across the ocean
And they chained him and put him in a show
And when he saw his woman, he broke loose
And everyone fled in terror, he was looking for her
And he overtook a train
And he was looking in the streets
And then he found her in her apartment
And he climbed up the Empire State Building
It was like a phallic symbol
And he took his woman to the top of that towering temple
And he climbed up and looked around
Some kind of city with all those skyscrapers and all of the cars
Just him and his screaming woman
And they were finally alone
He loved his woman and you could see it in his eyes
His great big eyes
He loved his woman from the moment that he saw her
It was all choked up inside
But when the airplanes came, he was soon to die
But he hung on long enough to set his woman down
And make sure that she was safe
As the bullets pierced, he looked at her so sincere
Before he fell, because he loved his woman
And they shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king
Who killed the monkey?
'Twas beauty that killed the beast
And Willis O'Brien died a tragic death
There wasn't much that he had left
And Ray Harryhausen said that when Willis died
That's when the king was really dead
They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king
