Intro:
I’ve been knocked off my pedestal again.
A know-it-all like so many other men.
I was caught in a trap I did not see.
The lady cut me down to my knees.
(Chorus)
No need to tell me that I did wrong.
When I’m trying to act like big King Kong.
My head’s a buzzin’ so sick inside.
I’d crawl through my soul just to apologize.
I’ve been knocked off my pedestal again.
Flipped out on some curves that led to an accident.
Didn’t read the crystal ball before my eyes.
Those desires were hot to the touch but oh so blind.
(Chorus)
(Bridge) Lost my crown, again. Been knocked
around, again.
I’m upside down, again. Lost my
crown, again.
I’ve been knocked off my pedestal again.
Face down in the dirt without a friend.
I want to live like that dove in the sky.
To be at peace with no alibis.
(Chorus)
