The quiet king hides safely In his castle on the hill He’s been inside for five long years And he’ll be there longer still He opens up for no one Nobody goes inside The king allows no visitor So many now have tried Some may try to fool him And some truly do mean well But nobody can infiltrate The castle on the hill Some days the king gets lonely And he wishes for a friend A lover or companion On whom he can depend But he opens up for no one Nobody goes inside The king allows no visitor So many now have tried Some may try to fool him But they likely never will For nobody can infiltrate The castle on the hill

She’s walking around With her head in the clouds There must be something wrong with her, they say But she don’t hear a word of it She’s talking out loud And painting with sound But they can’t see her masterpiece, oh no Her world exists for her and her alone She’s out of her head but she’s A Queen in her own mind She’s falling ahead While all the world just melts behind A Queen in her own mind She covers her eyes And walks around blind She must have taken something good, they say But she feels like this every day She likes to unwind In the back of her mind The real world’s much too complicated now She quite prefers the simple life She’s out of her head but she’s A Queen in her own mind She’s falling ahead While all the world just melts behind A Queen in her own mind She’s losing her grip but she’s A Queen in her own mind She’s taking a trip While all the world gets left behind She’s out of her head but she’s A Queen in her own mind She’s falling ahead While all the world just melts behind A Queen in her own mind

I know you belong to somebody new But tonight you belong to me Although we're apart, you're part of my heart And tonight you belong to me Way down by the stream How sweet it will seem Once more just to dream in the moonlight My honey, I know with the dawn That you will be gone But tonight you belong to me Way down, way down along the stream How very, very sweet it will seem Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight My honey, I know with the dawn That you will be gone But tonight you belong to me

This is a song about nothing ‘Cause I’m running outta time This ain’t a song about something Yeah I’m running outta time This album’s due tomorrow I’m a few minutes short I just need to fill some time So I came up with a melody To sing over some chords And some words that may or may not rhyme This is a song about nothing ‘Cause I’m running outta time This ain’t a song about something Yeah I’m running outta time I’m not in love I’m not in pain My life is really pretty plain And that’s alright with me But I could use some inspiration And some prestidigitation As soon as I learn what that means This is a song about nothing ‘Cause I’m running outta time This ain’t a song about something Yeah I’m running outta time

Do you recall How the snow used to fall As we slid down the mountain On planks made of wood We’d race toward the ground And cut through the clouds And plow through the powder As fast as we could Now that we’re older And the world’s getting colder I cling to the memory Of winter with you Winter with you Winter with you Do you remember The lights in December We’d cruise through the suburbs So merry and bright We’d drive through the snow With the whole world aglow The sky filled with colors That lit up the night Now that we’re older And the world’s getting colder I cling to the memory Of winter with you Winter with you Winter with you Winter with you Winter with you Winter with you Winter with you
