You live on your hill so high and so lonely

You toss out your bread crumbs to those down below

They think youre a king but believe me its only

Because theyre too blind to know





There once was a time when your money had meaning

You diamonds had glitter but now its all gone

It poisoned your laughter and muffled your singing

You cant even see that its wrong





Your castle is dingy and dirty and dismal

Your carpets are faded, your walls are all grey

Theres dust on your silver and cracks in your crystal

All your young servants have drifted away





So go back to your sadness, go back to your sorrow

And Ill make my bed on a hill neath the sky

And lay here a-listening till the sun comes tomorrow

Counting the tears that you cry





Your castle is dingy and dirty and dismal

Your carpets are faded, your walls are all grey

Theres dust on your silver and cracks in your crystal

All your young servants have drifted away
