Welcome to a half pound of chocolate
Welcome to a white speckled ceiling
Welcome to the quiet desperation
That comes with bidding farewell to the king
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Repeating a timeless melody
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Lovers dreamers and thieves
If you let her persuade you
You'll stay eternally
Five thousand fathoms
On the other side of the sea
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Repeating a timeless melody
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Lovers dreamers and thieves
Left under the cabinets
One last breath of air
Minor twists of fate and labyrinths
If they find you down here
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Repeating a timeless melody
They're playing for the king in the courtyard
Lovers dreamers and thieves
