Tragic Kingdom - Intellectual

[Intro]

"Remain seated, please. Permanecer sentados, por favor"

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

They pay homage to a king

Whose dreams are buried in their minds

His tears are frozen stiff

Icicles drip from his eyes

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

They pay homage to a king

Whose dreams are buried in their minds

His tears are frozen stiff

Icicles drip from his eyes

[Chorus]

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]

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

And midgets that disguise themselves as tiny little dwarves

The parade that's electrical

It serves no real purpose

Just takes up a lot of juice

Just to impress us

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

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're paying homage to a king (Tragic)

A king who's buried, buried in their minds (Kingdom)

They drip from his eyes (Tragic kingdom)

[Chorus]

Welcome to the tragic kingdom

Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open

[Outro]

Welcome to the tragic kingdom
