Child King
Abney Park

Across from me sat the new emperor, hardly thirteen

And I asked him why he cried


No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why

In my world, oh, they should try


I asked How loyal are your subjects?

Not, was the child king's reply; rarely would they comply


I always search for new subjects, still I'm loathsome to try

If they served me too long they would fortify


With all of my benevolence

There's still no obedience

Or is it just coincidence

That everyone here's indifferent?

So I must move on.


So I fear a dependence,

Between my subjects and I

So if they leave me I won't die


I always search for new subjects

Still I'm loathsome to try

In my world they should try


With all of my benevolence

There's still no obedience

Or is it just coincidence

That everyone here's indifferent?

So I must move on.


...[sporadic laughter]...

...I'm sorry, that was bad...

...I don't know how to laugh, it's hard when somebody wants you to...
