Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wish I may, wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold, dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
[PreChorus]
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
[Chorus]
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
[Chorus]
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
[Verse 2]
Hot and cold, bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
[PreChorus]
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
[Chorus]
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
[Chorus]
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
[Verse 3]
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
[Verse 4]
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it
Careful what you wish, you just might get it
[Chorus]
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
[Chorus]
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
[Outro]
No, you're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
No, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to Never-Never Land
