Long Live the King |
| The first thing that they tell you |
| Is that you will be king |
| A 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 |
| Think you’re better than the others |
| Somewhat fine and brave |
| They lead 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 |
| Is 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 |
| Now, all around town |
| They said, «Woo, Humpty Dumpty |
| The king is falling down» |
| I said,"Just like Humpty Dumpty |
| (All the king’s horses |
| The king is falling down" |
| (And all the king’s men) |
| I said, «Ooh, Humpty Dumpty now |
| (Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now) |
| The king is falling down» |
| (Back together again) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (All the king’s horses and all the king’s men) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (All the king’s horses and all the king’s men) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (All the king’s horses and all the king’s men) |
| I said,"Oh, the king is falling down" |
| (Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) |
