The Byrds — Long Live the King

The first thing that they tell you is that you will be king Hey priest at least they tell you And that then everything will be alright at last You will finally be cast into your rightful throne They've got it all down cold Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid You think you're better than the others, somewhat fine and brave They lead you astray, you could be up there all alone A star they say a million miles away from home An empty space is that the place you wanted The last thing that they tell you about, they ask you will it hurt They said sell what you can boy, get out while the getting's good And they whisper in the evening all around the town They said wooh Humpty Dumpty the king is falling down They said just like Humpty Dumpty the king is falling down They said wooh Humpty Dumpty now the king is falling down They said ohhhhh the king is falling down They said ohhhhh the king is falling down They said ohhhhh the king is falling down They said ohhhhh the king is falling down
