1
I'm the king's thirty second son
2
Born to him in thirty second's time
3
Born to him the night still young
4
Born to him with two eyebrows on
5
And that's all I was wearing
6
When I woke up staring at the world
7
My mom had been around the graves of queens
8
But not at all a sex machine
9
She liked to keep her body clean, clean
10
Thought the world to be quite obscene
11
But she retired to her chamber
12
And we remain quite strangers
13
And to see me made her awful sad
14
And to touch me made her awful sad
15
And to see me made her awful
16
And to touch me made her awful
17
I'm the king's thirty second son
18
And all it took was thirty second's time
19
But a spoiled little prince I was not
20
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
21
And there's thirty one others just like me
22
There's thirty one others I can be
23
Someimtes I'd stand by the royal wall
24
The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
25
And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
26
Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
27
And she retired to her chamber
28
And we remain quite strangers
29
And to see me made her awful sad
30
And to touch me made her awful sad
31
And to see me made her awful
32
And to touch me made her awful
33
And one morning I woke up
34
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
35
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
36
Then one morning I woke up
37
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
38
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
39
Thirty two's still counts
40
Gonna make it count

I'm the king's thirty second son
57
There's thirty one others just like me
58
There's thirty one others on the way
59
There's thirty one others after that
60
Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
61
People screaming love and hate
62
And they scream
63
And they scream
64
And they scream
65
And they scream
66
Long live the king,
67
Long live the queen
68
And to see me made her awful sad
69
And to touch me made her awful sad
70
And to see me made her awful
71
And to touch me made her awful
72
And one morning I woke up
73
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus

Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex

And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
