The king he sat in a chair of gold   and let life let him be   his daughter sat by his side most nights   to keep him company   the wise man and the alcamist   looked over the charts and graphs   inconclusive, they're inconclusive, hopefully this will pass   the jester said, i tried to make him laugh      The party was thrown for the king that night   and they tried to raise the dead   the golden chair still occupied   by the king's resting head   the daughter danced with the alcamist   and of course the wise man spoke   the jester said, hey king it's time for a little joke   no response, i think the king is broke      some weeks have passed and his subjects have   all but given up   people were tired of forcing the king   to try and live it up   the morning sun and the alcamist   watched the king make his first move   the king stood up, stretched a bit   said, i've got nothing to prove   listen up, i've got nothing to prove      and i, i just need some time off   i need some time off from all of this   yeah   and i, i just need some time off   i need some time off from all of this   yeah
