elton john - the king must die (live in australia 1986) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
no man’s a jester playing shakespeare
’round your throne room floor
while the juggler’s act is danced upon
the crown that you once wore

[verse 2]
and sooner or later
everybody’s kingdom must end
and i’m so afraid your courtiers
cannot be called best friends
[chorus]
caesar’s had your trouble
widows had to cry
while mercenaries in cloisters sing
and the king must die

[verse 3]
some men are better slaying sailors
take my word and go
but tell the ostler that his name was
the very first they chose

[verse 4]
and if my hands are stained forever
and the altar should refuse me
would you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me in?
should i cry sanctuary?

[chorus]
caesar’s had your trouble
widows had to cry
while mercenaries in cloisters sing
and the king must die

[verse 1]
no man’s a jester playing shakespeare
’round your throne room floor
while the juggler’s act is danced upon
the crown that you once wore
[outro]
the king must die
the king must die
the king must die
the king is dead (mmm hmm)
long live the, long live the king

“the king must die.”
