[Verse 1: Jonas Bjerre] 1577, there was born a king of architectual passion Placed in dire peril, he would stand tall and erect, in retrospect [Chorus: Jonas Bjerre] All I do is run tonight Even twice as sweet but half as bright I did not intend to impersonate a friend If I didn't know my luck Listen to the clock's last ticking tock I shall ascend at last like a question never asked [Verse 2: Jonas Bjerre] Think him not so good-natured Oh, no, not the slightest bit, quite the opposite Because even though he would build things He unto his queen was mean, poor Anna Kathrine, she's crying [Chorus: Jonas Bjerre] All I do is run tonight Even twice as sweet but half as bright I did not intend to impersonate a friend I could not remain your friend Lest it would have made a difference then Could it possibly? Well, no thanks to you and me [Bridge: Damon Tutunjian & Jonas Bjerre] Hey, this is the king speakin' to you Bet you didn't think I'd make it this far but I know you all remember old Christian I was number four, you see, and people will think of me and say: A good king was he! All I do is run tonight Even twice as sweet but half as bright If I didn't know my luck Listen to the clock's last ticking tock [Chorus: Jonas Bjerre] All I do is run tonight (All I do is run) Even twice as sweet but half as bright (Even twice as sweet but half as bright) I did not intend to impersonate a friend (I did not intend) If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know) Listen to the clock's last ticking tock I shall ascend at last, like a question never asked (I shall ascend to you again) All I do is run tonight (All I do is run) Even twice as sweet but half as bright (Even twice as sweet but half as bright) I did not intend to impersonate a friend (I did not intend) If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know) Listen to the clock's last ticking tock I shall ascend at last, like a question never asked (I shall ascend to you again) All I do is run tonight (All I do is run) Even twice as sweet but half as bright (Even twice as sweet but half as bright) I did not intend to impersonate a friend (I did not intend) If I didn't know my luck (If I didn't know) Listen to the clock's last ticking tock I shall ascend at last, like a question never asked (I shall ascend to you again)
