Tragic Kingdom

Tragic Kingdom
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 lies in traps
With coiled wires set back
Decoyed by 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 buried
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

Theyre unaware whats
Behind castle walls

But now its 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
Weve 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 thats electrical

It serves no real purpose
Just takes up a lot of juice
Just to impress us

They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds

His tears are frozen stiff
Icicles drip from his eyes

Ooh they drip from his eyes into the night

They drip from his eyes

They pay homage to a king
King whos buried, buried in their minds

They drip from his eyes

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Welcome to the tragic kingdom
