Lyrics

[by：amanitashredder]
[00:14.66] I'm the king's thirty second son
[00:18.07] Born to him in thirty second's time
[00:21.38] Born to him the night still young
[00:24.90] Born to him with two eyebrows on
[00:26.92] And that's all I was wearing
[00:30.16] When I woke up staring at the world
[00:34.28]
[00:34.64] My mom had been a rather crazy queen
[00:38.24] But not at all a sex machine
[00:41.98] She liked to keep her body clean, clean
[00:46.14] Thought the world to be quite obscene
[00:47.65] But she retired to her chambers
[00:51.39] And we remain quite strangers
[00:53.80]
[00:55.55] And to see me made her awful sad
[00:58.38] And to touch me made her awful sad
[01:00.32] And to see me made her awful
[01:02.45] And to touch me made her awful
[01:05.74]
[01:08.39] I'm the king's thirty second son
[01:11.86] And all it took was thirty second's time
[01:15.33] But a spoiled little prince I was not
[01:18.64] Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
[01:20.84] And there's thirty one others just like me
[01:24.45] There's thirty one others I can be
[01:27.30]
[01:28.88] Sometimes I'd stand by the royal walls
[01:32.60] The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
[01:36.14] And I stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
[01:39.44] Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
[01:41.94] But she retired to her chambers
[01:45.50] And we remain quite strangers
[01:48.87]
[01:49.49] And to see me made her awful sad
[01:52.49] And to touch me made her awful sad
[01:54.88] And to see me made her awful
[01:57.18] And to touch me made her awful
[01:59.18]
[02:00.49] And one morning I woke up
[02:02.18] And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
[02:04.85] Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
[02:09.31] Then one morning I woke up
[02:11.48] And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
[02:14.16] Thirty two's still a goddamn number
[02:16.74] Thirty two still counts
[02:19.15] Gonna make it count
[02:20.26] Gonna make it count
[02:21.33] Gonna oh oh
[02:22.45]
[02:23.15] Thirty two's still a goddamn number
[02:25.55] Thirty two still counts

[03:03.10] There's thirty one others after that
[03:05.37]
[03:06.42] Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
[03:09.95] People screaming love and hate
[03:13.49] And they scream
[03:13.97] And they scream
[03:14.64] And they scream

[03:33.73] And to touch me made her awful
[03:36.01]
[03:39.40] And one morning I woke up
[03:41.41] And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
