Regina Spektor - Oedipus lyrics
I'm the king's thirty second son Born to him in thirty second's time Born to him the night still young Born to him with two eyebrows on And that's all I was wearing When I woke up staring at the world My mom had been around the graves of queens But not at all a sex machine She liked to keep her body clean, clean Thought the world to be quite obscene But she retired to her chamber And we remain quite strangers And to see me made her awful sad And to touch me made her awful sad And to see me made her awful And to touch me made her awful I'm the king's thirty second son And all it took was thirty second's time But a spoiled little prince I was not Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot And there's thirty one others just like me There's thirty one others I can be Someimtes I'd stand by the royal wall The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin And she retired to her chamber And we remain quite strangers And to see me made her awful sad And to touch me made her awful sad And to see me made her awful And to touch me made her awful And one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex Then one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two's still counts Gonna make it count Gonna make it count Gonna oh oh Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two still counts Gonna make it count Gonna make it count Gonna oh oh Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the I'm the king's thirty second son There's thirty one others just like me There's thirty one others on the way There's thirty one others after that Sometimes I stand by the royal gate People screaming love and hate And they scream And they scream And they scream And they scream Long live the king, long live the queen And to see me made her awful sad And to touch me made her awful sad And to see me made her awful And to touch me made her awful And one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex Then one morning I woke up and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two's still counts Gonna make it count Gonna make it count Gonna oh oh Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two's still a goddamn number Thirty two Thirty two Thirty two Thirty two Thirty two Thirty two Thirty two Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king Long live the king |
