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 wired 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
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 disquise 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

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
