The piper plays a tune, echoing louder Parading acid dancers in the dark The question that I spawn has got no answer The maelstrom in the mirror breaks my heart The piper plays a tune And I betrayed the golden rule I guess that when I hear that tune The piper knows I'm a fool If there's a kingdom come Right behind that cloud Above the maddening crowd If there's a kingdom come Let me die another day I ain't got the piper's pay And he's standing in my way My 44 was all about the glory A shot in anger fired too late to trail My soul will never heal in a wound that I conceal A guilty man, I stalk the dragons tail The piper played a tune And I woke up in a duel Trigger finger shakin' I completely lost my cool If there's a kingdom come Right behind that cloud Above the maddening crowd If there's a kingdom come Let me die another day I ain't got the piper's pay He's standing in my way Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh If there's a kingdom come Right behind that cloud Above the maddening crowd If there's a kingdom come Let me die another day I ain't got the piper's pay He's in my way If there's a kingdom come Right behind that cloud Above the maddening crowd If there's a kingdom come Let me die another day I ain't got the piper's pay The pied piper's in my way He's in my way If there's a kingdom come If there's a kingdom come If there's a kingdom come
