You move in time
And speak in rhyme
Just read the card
And say your line

Ten years ago you knew where you'd be
But it's just outside your reach

You wrote the script
But no one else is reading it
Besides those dolls
They won't accept

You can't believe you feel like you do
This isn't what she had in mind for you
That little girl from a long, long time ago
A long, long time ago

Could you ever be free, darlin, I can't let go
Could you ever believe, darlin, more than what you know
Could you ever take back something so painful the world could never heal
If you can't stand up against yourself, blame it all on me

You can't get out
Unless you're going their way
It's a wicked tale
But where's the knight to save the day?

If you please, then you could come with me
I don't know where, but we'll get there certainly
Yeah, we'll get there when we need to be

Could you ever be free, darlin, I can't let go
Could you ever believe, darlin, more than what you know
Could you ever look back, don't go, I know but I can't figure out
How I, the King of Fools, came to rule the world
