| I’m the king’s thirty second son
|
| Born to him in thirty second’s time
|
| Born to him the night still young
|
| Born to him with two eyebrows on And that’s all I was wearing
|
| When I woke up staring at the world
|
| My mom had been around the graves of queens
|
| But not at all a sex machine
|
| She liked to keep her body clean, clean
|
| Thought the world to be quite obscene
|
| But she retired to her chamber
|
| And we remain quite strangers
|
| And to see me made her awful sad
|
| And to touch me made her awful sad
|
| And to see me made her awful
|
| And to touch me made her awful
|
| I’m the king’s thirty second son
|
| And all it took was thirty second’s time
|
| But a spoiled little prince I was not
|
| Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
|
| And there’s thirty one others just like me There’s thirty one others I can be Someimtes I’d stand by the royal wall
|
| The sky’d be so big that it broke my soul
|
| And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
|
| Of my mother’s eyes and my mother’s skin
|
| And she retired to her chamber
|
| And we remain quite strangers
|
| And to see me made her awful sad
|
| And to touch me made her awful sad
|
| And to see me made her awful
|
| And to touch me made her awful
|
| And one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
|
| Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
|
| Then one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
|
| Thirty two’s still a goddamn number
|
| Thirty two’s still counts
|
| Gonna make it count

| Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
|
| People screaming love and hate
|
| And they scream
|
| And they scream
|
| And they scream
|
