Once was a magical place Over time it was lost Price increased the cost Now the fortune of the kingdom Is locked up in it's 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 (disillusioned) As they enter (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 (and the power) Of the people (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 disguise 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 Ooh they drip from his eyes into the night (tragic kingdom) They drip from his eyes (tragic kingdom) They pay homage to a king King who's buried, buried in their minds (tragic kingdom) They drip from his eyes (tragic kingdom)
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 Welcome to the tragic kingdom
