Mister Kingdom
[Verse 1]
Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die, they never see
Sun come shining through their window pane
They pass away
[Verse 2]
Silly girl, to be a fool
You didn't play the golden rule
'Cause once you're through with one world
There's another waiting there
[Chorus]
Help me, such a lonely soul
In dreams to leave behind the world
Mr. Kingdom, help me please
To find the rainbow's end
[Verse 3]
Looking from this empty room
The corridors of endless gloom
Go crawling through the night
To meet the dawn that's on its way
[Verse 4]
Oh, to sleep, perchance to dream
To live again those joyous scenes
The laughter, and the follies
That are locked inside my head
[Chorus]
Help me, such a lonely soul
In dreams to leave behind the world
Mr. Kingdom, help me please
To find the rainbow's end
[Interlude]
Oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 5]
I can dream of flying high
Above the city's cares
And never be afraid of anyone
'Cause there ain't no one there
[Chorus]
Help me, such a lonely soul
In dreams to leave behind the world
Mr. Kingdom, help me please
To find the rainbow's end
[Chorus]
Help me, such a lonely soul
In dreams to leave behind the world
Mr. Kingdom, help me please
To find the rainbow's end, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
