Once was a magical place
|
Over time it was lost
|
Price increased the cost
|
Now the fortune of the kingdom
|
Is locked up in its dungeon vaults
|
The castle floor ties in traps
|
With coiled wires set back
|
Decoyed by the old cheese
|
Now the drawbridge has been lifted
|
As the millions
|
They drop to their knees
|
|
They pay homage to a king
|
Whose dreams are burried
|
In their minds
|
His tears are frozen stiff
|
Icicles drip from his eyes
|
|
The cold wind blows as it snows
|
On those who fight to get in
|
On heads that are small
|
Disillusioned as they enter
|
They're unaware what's
|
Behind castle walls
|
But now it's written in stone
|
The king has been overthrown
|
By jesterly fools
|
And the power of the people
|
Shall come to believe they do rule
|
|
They pay homage to a king
|
Whose dreams are buried
|
In their minds
|
His tears are frozen stiff
|
Icicles drip from his eyes
|
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
|
Cornfields of popcorn
|
Have yet to spring open
|
|
Have they lost their heads
|
Or are they just all blind mice
|
We've heard all their stories
|
One too many times
|
Hypnotized by fireflies
|
That glow in the dark
|
Midgets that disguise themselves
|
As tiny little dwarfs
|
The parade that's electrical
|
It serves no real purpose
|
Just takes up a lot of juice
|
Just to impress us
|
|
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
|
Cornfields of popcorn
|
Have yet to spring open
|
