Okay okay okay
I'll tell one quick story then I have to go
Okay?
Just one
This is the story of a night he would never forget
How his whole life changed when he decided to sit
On the seat of the throne and he could finally see
Good things aren't always what they seem to be
He got a letter in the mail, quite excited
It read "My dear good Sir, you are cordially invited
To a dinner with the King at his royal palace
Feel free to bring nothing
But your wife, Alice
He ran to his wife, "Alice, Alice!
We've been invited to a night at the King's palace!"
She smiled and nodded
To tell the truth, she didn't care much about it
But she went along with it and they soon would be
Eating dinner with the King
Oh how great it would be
Two common folk getting them the chance of a life
To see what it'd be like to be King for a night
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
So they arrive to the palace and the King they met
In a gold chariot
And it made him sweat
He said, "How could one man ever need so much
If it was me, I'd be sure that there'd be such
Stringent rules in place, we wouldn't waste a dime
All this money spent on china, and food, and wine and-"
"Welcome, please pick your dish
And for our distinguished guest
I'll grant one wish"
Much to his surprise, the man started to ponder
All his life's stresses and the King's squander
"Honestly, your highness, it must be easy as King
With the world in your hand and your signet ring
You've never really done much
You're not much of a man
And you think you're so strong because of where you stand
So if I had one wish, it would simply be
To take a seat on your throne so I could finally see"
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
So the King he obliged
And granted his wish
He let him sit at the head
On the throne and they switched
They traded places and the King breathed a sigh of relief
But he knew the poor man, would soon feel grief
He knew exactly what the man must've felt inside
As he slowly looked up and his eyes got wide
The look on his face
Shocked was his expression
At the very crucial moment he learned a pivotal lesson
The man with it all can lose it in one second
From a small gust of wind
Or an act of aggression
Hung above the throne was quite a sight to see
(Oh My God!)
The man ran home
Crying hysterically
Because a
Fifty
Foot dagger
Was dangling
In the air
Held in place
By a strand
Of a single
Horse hair
That moment he learned and could finally see
Good things aren't always what they seem to be
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
Think back to the theme (theme theme)
Everything in life is not as good as it seems (seems seems)
The choice is all your own
