Mr. Chess Lyrics by Duncan Sheik
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
So good to meet you, Mr. Chess
I've always heard that you're the best
At housing knights
And castles high up in the air

So I beseech you, Mr. Chess
To let me sleep inside your bed
And would you sleep, too
Would you sleep, too, in the chair?

You see, I dream of many things
Of floating, solitary kings
Of pawns and people with
Blue sequins through their hair

A jester sings
The bishop brings the queen
A hollow following...
And all the pawns

And people stop
And people stare
So, I, too, stop
At 3 o'clock
I stumble to your door and knock
And ask to see you
And ask to be you

Mr. Chess.. Oh, Mr. Chess..

Now I beseech you, Mr. Chess
To let me sleep, to let me rest
To let me dream
To let me sing without a care

And I will dream you things so fair
I sing your castles in the air
And I will sleep, too
I will sleep, too
I will rest... Oh, Mr. Chess,.. My Mr. Chess...
So good to meet you, Mr. Chess   I've always heard that you're the best   At housing knights   And castles high up in the air      So I beseech you, Mr. Chess   To let me sleep inside your bed   And would you sleep, too   Would you sleep, too, in the chair?      You see, I dream of many things   Of floating, solitary kings   Of pawns and people with   Blue sequins through their hair      A jester sings   The bishop brings the queen   A hollow following...   And all the pawns      And people stop   And people stare   So, I, too, stop   At 3 o'clock   I stumble to your door and knock   And ask to see you   And ask to be you      Mr. Chess.. Oh, Mr. Chess..      Now I beseech you, Mr. Chess   To let me sleep, to let me rest   To let me dream   To let me sing without a care      And I will dream you things so fair   I sing your castles in the air   And I will sleep, too   I will sleep, too   I will rest...
