Lyrics
The king went to battle under a blue and ivory sky
and showered the land with a treasure of rubies
The men wanted nothing more than to hoist him upon high
but he said, "My God, if you only knew me."
The king and his daughter went, took their hoofed friends for a ride
She spoke of a boy, her passion unhidden
He listened to her without a face, never looked her in the eye
Then said, "Love has to start so that it can finish."
Man I want to be a toy
Wind me up, put me at the beginning
I tried to make a home inside my head
But memories are dead they are not living
A fork in the road
Doors numbered against a wall
And the only thing you know is that you never chose at all
Want to swim against the stream
Drum within the swelling
Kick against the walls of a balloon inside a belly
The king clenched the softest fur
That gold and silver could buy
And spit in a pail some pieces of tissue
He said, "Son: be a warrior, daughter: practical and wise,
And dont remember me, and come close so that I can kiss you."
