Position Vacant - Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders

The king wrote his resignation

Swallowed it in capsule form

He took twenty seven of those bad boys

And said «I ain’t gonna reign no more

Well I ain’t gonna reign no more

You know I’m tired of all these expectations

And the diseases in my meat»

So he hung a sign position vacant

As he kicked the chair out from under his feet

Most nights I get so lonesome

Most nights are filled with deep regret

Most night I cry myself to sleep

Freezing in the wilderness

And I think so much about you lately

How you got your house with your jungle gym

All I got is a position vacant

Won’t you take me back in your arms again?

Position vacant, apply within

Position vacant

Position vacant, apply within

Ohhh, ohh ohh

Money was getting tough

I took a job down at the general store

Selling cigarettes to single mothers

And sweeping the rat shit off of the floor

I started taking a few liberties

Selling a spoonful on the side

When the boss listed position vacant

Before he even said you’re fired

Position vacant, apply within

Position vacant

Position vacant, apply within

Ohhh, ohh ohh

Woohoo

Now all the king’s loyal subjects

Formed a great long queue

To hold a new audition

To see who should fill the royal shoes

I got nothing else to lose

I showed up

You couldn’t call me shy

And when the angels heard my song for you

They screamed out «King you’re hired!»

Oh position vacant, apply within

Position vacant

Oh position vacant, apply within

Ohhh
