The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king

A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be alright at last

You will finally be cast into your rightful throne

They got it all down cold

Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid

You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave

They lead astray you could be up there all alone

A star they say a million miles away from home

An empty space is that the place you wanted

The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt

They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good

And they whisper in the evening all around town

Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down
