King Prospero

The people were happy
The country was safe
They went to the market
They walked through the waste
They loved King Prospero
He made them feel brave
Richer than a barrow
Stronger than the brave

And the moment was gone
Another time worth waiting for
And we are stuck here
Another place worth waitin' for
Took away the things I've done a thousand times before
Another life worth waiting for
Do you know what we've got here?
A piece of mind worth waiting for

Outside the world was ending
It might have always been
The traders and their children
The barmaid and her friends
Inside they had a circus
And a magician, too
They even had a barmaid
And a man who polished shoes

And the moment was gone
Another time worth waiting for
And we are stuck here
Another place worth waitin' for
Took away the things I've done a thousand times before
Another life worth waiting for
Do you know what we've got here?
A piece of mind worth waiting for
