Lyrics
Once upon a time in the land of Sin-a-plenty There lived a king who didn't deserve to be He knew not where he came from Nor where he was going He never once said thank you, never please Now this king he had a subject named Electra Who loved him with a passion uncontested For him each day she had a smile But it didn't matter The king was looking for the ladder Everybody's looking for the ladder Everybody wants salvation of the soul The steps you take are no easy road But the reward is great For those who want to go A feeling of self-worth (everybody's looking) Will caress you (for the answers) The size of the whole wide world will decrease (how the story started) (and how it will end) The love of God's creation will undress you And time spent alone my friend, will cease Everybody's looking for the answers How the story started and how it will end What's the use in half a story, half a dream You have to climb all of the steps in between [Repeat Chorus 1 and 2 until fade out]
