Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't wanna go

Something tells me no, no, no, no

But traces in the sand

The lines inside my hand say go, go, go

[Verse 2]

Beware of a place

A smile on a bright shiny face

I'll never return, how do you know

[Verse 3]

Tarot woman

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

[Verse 4]

She can take you there

The entrance to the fair, my, my, my

Ride the carousel

Cast a music spell, you can fly, fly, fly

[Verse 5]

Beware of a place

A smile on a bright shiny face

I'll never return, how do you know

[Verse 6]

Tarot woman

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

[Verse 7]

High noon

Oh I'd sell my soul for water

Nine years' worth

Of breakin' my back

There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard

See how he glides

He's lighter than air

Oh I see his face

[Verse 8]

Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far

And when do we leave?

I believe, I believe, yes, I believe

[Verse 9]

In the heat and the rain

With whips and chains

You see him fly

So many die

[Verse 10]

Built a tower of stone

With flesh and bone

Just to see him fly

But we don't know why

[Verse 11]

Now where do we go

[Verse 12]

Danger, danger the queen's about to kill

There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill

Oh no, move away from harm

I need a spell and a charm

Fly like the wind

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

[Verse 13]

Kill the king

Tear him down

Kill the king

Yeah, strike him down

[Verse 14]

Power, power it happens every day

Power, devour all along the way

Oh no, move away from harm

I need a spell and a charm

Fly like the wind

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

[Verse 15]

Kill the king

[Verse 16]

Strike him down

[Verse 17]

Treason, treason, the specter looms again

Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then

Oh no, move away from harm

I need a spell and a charm

Fly like the rainbow

I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

[Verse 18]

Kill the king

Yeah, tear him down

Kill the king

Yeah, take his crown

[Verse 19]

Oh, kill the king

Got to take his crown

Yeah, yeah, kill the king

Strike him down
