歌词
I'm the king's 32nd son
Born to him a 32nd time
Born to him with my hair still on
Born to him with two eyebrows on
And that's all I was wearing
When I woke up staring at the world
My mom had been a rather crazy queen
But not at all like a sex machine
She liked to keep her body clean, clean
Thought the world to be quite obscene
But she'd retire to her chambers
We remain quite strangers
And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful
I'm the king's 32nd son
Man, all it took was 32nd's time
But a spoiled little prince I was not
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
And there's 31 others just like me
There's 31 others I can't be
Sometimes I'd stand by the royal walls
The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
And I stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
But she'd retire to her chambers
And we remain quite strangers
And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful
And then one morning, I woke up
And I thought, "Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus"
Then one morning, and I woke up
And I thought, "Rex, Rex, Rex"
Then one morning, I woke up
And I thought, "Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus"
'Cause 32 is still a goddamn number
32 still counts
Gonna make it count, gonna make it count
Gonna, uh, uh
32 is still a goddamn number
32 still counts
Gonna make it count, gonna make it count
Gonna, uh, uh, uh
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the-
I'm the king's 32nd son
There's 31 others just like me
There's 31 others on the way
There's 31 others after that
Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
People screaming love and hate
And they scream, and they scream
And they scream, and they scream
Long live the king, long live the queen
And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful, uh, uh
And then one morning, I woke up
And I thought, "Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus"
Then one morning, and I woke up
And I thought, "Rex, Rex, Rex"
Then one morning, I woke up
And I thought, "Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus"
'Cause 32 is still a goddamn number
32 still counts
Gonna make it count, gonna make it count
Gonna, uh, uh, uh
32 is still a goddamn number
32 is still a goddamn number
32 is still a goddamn number
32 is still a goddamn number
32, 32
32, 32
32, 32
32, 32
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
