My kingdom's come crashing down
Says the king with the paper crown
I've searched all my life and found
Only fools gold and this paper crown
Only fools gold and this paper crown
You can be a king for the day
Or throw it away
Rule all the land
From your castles of sand
Or war with the world
For diamonds and pearls
Or wait by the sea
For your fate to agree
My kingdom's come crashing down
Says the king with the paper crown
I've searched all my life and found
Only fools gold and this paper crown
Only fools gold and this paper crown
You can be a king for the day
Or throw it away
Rule all the land
From your castles of sand
Or war with the world
For diamonds and pearls
Or wait by the sea
For your fate to agree
But one day you'll find the tide
Turning in time
And all that you've held to decays
Then Tossed by the wind no works
Of mice or men
Could save your soul on that day
The king with the paper crown
My kingdoms come crashing down
Says the king with the paper crown
You can be a king for the day
Or throw it away
Rule all the land
From your castles of sand
Or war with the world
For diamonds and pearls
Or wait by the sea
For your fate to agree
The king with the paper crown
