Oedipus

And we remain quite strangers
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Long live the king, long live the queen

She liked to keep her body clean, clean
And I stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
Long live the king
And to touch me made her awful
There's thirty-one others just like me

Thirty-two's still a goddamn number

Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
Long live the king, long live the king
And to see me made her awful sad
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number

Gonna make it count, gonna oh oh
Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
Born to him the night still young
Thirty-two still counts, gonna make it count
And to see me made her awful
But not at all a sex machine
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number

Born to him with two eyebrows on

Gonna make it count, gonna oh oh
I'm the king's thirty second son

And to touch me made her awful sad
Thirty-two's still counts, gonna make it count
Then one morning I woke up
Long live the king
Then one morning I woke up
And one morning I woke up
And all it took was thirty seconds time
And to touch me made her awful sad
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number

Gonna make it count gonna oh oh
Thought the world to be quite obscene
And to see me made her awful sad

Sometimes I'd stand by the royal wall
And she retired to her chamber
And we remain quite strangers
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number
I'm the king's thirty second son
People screaming love and hate
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
And to touch me made her awful
But she retired to her chamber
Thirty-two's still counts, gonna make it count
There's thirty-one others I can be
Long live the king, long live the king
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
And there's thirty-one others just like me
And they scream and they scream
There's thirty-one others on the way
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex

And to see me made her awful sad
There's thirty-one others after that
Thirty-two, thirty-two, thirty-two, thirty-two
And to touch me made her awful sad

Thirty-two, thirty-two, thirty-two

And that's all I was wearing
And they scream and they scream
But a spoiled little prince I was not

Long live the king, long live the king
Long live the king, long live the

The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
Long live the king
When I woke up staring at the world
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
And to touch me made her awful
My mom had been around the graves of queens
Thirty-two's still a goddamn number

And to see me made her awful
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
And to see me made her awful
And one morning I woke up
