Wish I may, wish I might Have this I wish tonight Are you satisfied? Dig for gold, dig for fame You dig to make your name Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there's no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle's crumbled And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing? Where's your crown?
Hot and cold, bought and sold A heart as hard as gold Are you satisfied? Wish I might, wish I may You wish your life away Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there's no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle's crumbled And you're left with just a name Where's your crown, King Nothing? Where's your crown?
I wish I may, I wish I might Have this wish I wish tonight I want that star, I want it now I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish Careful what you say Careful what you wish, you may regret it Careful what you wish, you just might get it
Then it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there's no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle's crumbled And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
You're just nothing Where's your crown, King Nothing? You're just nothing Absolutely nothing
Off to never-never land
