"Long Live The King" lyrics
"Long Live The King"
The first thing that they tell you is that you will be king
Hey priest at least they tell you
And that then everything will be alright at last
You will finally be cast into your rightful throne
They've got it all down cold
Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid
You think you're better than the others, somewhat fine and brave
They lead you astray, you could be up there all alone
A star they say a million miles away from home
An empty space is that the place you wanted
The last thing that they tell you about, they ask you will it hurt
They said sell what you can boy, get out while the getting's good
And they whisper in the evening all around the town
They said whoa Humpty Dumpty the king is falling down
They said just like Humpty Dumpty the king is falling down
They said whoa Humpty Dumpty now the king is falling down
They said oh the king is falling down
They said oh the king is falling down
They said oh the king is falling down
They said oh the king is falling down
