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
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 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
                   
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open
