The King Must Die Lyrics - Elton John - Elton John

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 

And sooner or later 

Everybody's kingdom must end 

And I'm so afraid your courtiers 

Cannot be called best friends 

Caesar's had your troubles 

Widows have to cry 

While mercenaries in cloisters sing 

And the king must die

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Some men are better staying sailors 

Take my word and go 

But tell the ostler that his name was 

The very first they chose 

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? 

Caesar's had your troubles 

Widows have to cry 

While mercenaries in cloisters sing 

And the king must die 

Yeah, the king must die 

The king must die, oh yeah 

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 

The king is dead, the king is dead 

The king is dead, the king is dead 

Long live the King
