Intro

Verse

 The king he sat in a chair of gold

 and let life let him be

 his daughter sat by his side most nights

 to keep him company

 the wise man and the alchemist

 looked over the charts and graphs

inconclusive, they're inconclusive

hopefully this will pass

 the jester said, I tried to make him laugh

Bridge/Chorus

 The party was thrown for the king that night

 and they tried to raise the dead

 the golden chair still occupied

 by the king's resting head

 the daughter danced with the alchemist

 and of course the wise man spoke

 the jester said, hey king

 it's time for a little joke

no response, I think the king is broke

X2

 Some weeks had passed and his subjects had

all but given up

 people were tired of forcing the king

 to try and live it up

 the morning sun and the alchemist

 watched the king make his first move

 the king stood up, stretched a bit

 said, I've got nothing to prove

listen up, I've got nothing to prove

 and I, I just need some time off

 I need some time off from all of this

 yeah

 and I, I just need some time off

 I need some time off from all of this

 yeah
