Elton John - The king must die - live in australia lyrics

No man's a jester playing Shakespeare 'Round your throne room floor While the juggler's act is danced upon The crown that you once wore And sooner or later Everybody's kingdom must end And I'm so afraid your courtiers Cannot be called best friends Caesar's had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the king must die Some men are better slaying sailors Take my word and go But tell the hostler that his name was The very first they chose And if my hands are stained forever And the altar should refuse me Would you let me in? Would you let me in? Would you let me in? Should I cry, "Sanctuary"? Caesar's had your troubles Widows had to cry While mercenaries in cloisters sing And the king must die No man's a jester playing Shakespeare 'Round your throne room floor While the juggler's act is danced upon The crown that you once wore The king must die The king must die The king must die The king is dead Long live the Long live the king
