No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom lyrics

Remain seated please...<br><br>Once was a magical place<br>Over time it was lost<br>Price increased the cost<br>Now the fortune of the kingdom<br>Is locked up in it's dungeon vaults<br>The castle floor lies in traps<br>With coiled wires set back<br>Decoyed by old cheese<br>Now the drawbridge has been lifted<br>As the millions<br>They drop to their knees<br><br>They pay homage to a king<br>Whose dreams are buried<br>In their minds<br>His tears are frozen stiff<br>Icicles drip from his eyes<br><br>The cold wind blows as it snows<br>On those who fight to get in<br>On heads that are small<br>Disillusioned (disillusioned)<br>As they enter (as they enter)<br>They're unaware what's<br>Behind castle walls<br>But now it's written in stone<br>The king has been overthrown<br>By jesterly fools<br>And the power (and the power)<br>Of the people (of the people)<br>Shall come to believe they do rule<br><br>They pay homage to a king<br>Whose dreams are buried<br>In their minds<br>His tears are frozen stiff<br>Icicles drip from his eyes<br><br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Cornfields of popcorn<br>Have yet to spring open<br><br>Have they lost their heads<br>Or are they just all blind mice<br>We've heard all their stories<br>One too many times<br>Hypnotized by fireflies<br>That glow in the dark<br>Midgets that disguise themselves<br>As tiny little dwarfs<br>The parade that's electrical<br>It serves no real purpose<br>Just takes up a lot of juice<br>Just to impress us<br><br>They pay homage to a king<br>Whose dreams are buried<br>In their minds<br>His tears are frozen stiff<br>Icicles drip from his eyes<br>Ooh they drip from his eyes into the night (tragic kingdom)<br>They drip from his eyes (tragic kingdom)<br>They pay homage to a king<br>King who's buried, buried in their minds (tragic kingdom)<br>They drip from his eyes (tragic kingdom)<br><br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Cornfields of popcorn<br>Have yet to spring open<br><br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom<br>Welcome to the tragic kingdom
