Frightened -- trying to decide
 Which way do I side
 Can't make up my mind this time
 Searching -- curiosity's burning
 Just what am I learning
 From all this wasted time
 Waiting in line?

 Wrapped up in
 What might have been
 I just pretend
 That luck was seized from me
 All alone ( but on the throne )
 The King of tragedy
 Caught up in what could be
 If only God had smiled on me
 Another dance with circumstance
 For His Majesty

 Crying
 My bitter tongue denying
 A life wasted in trying
 To rise from the bed I've made
 Where I lay
 Screaming
 My aching head is reeling
 The crown of thorns I'm feeling
 Made by my own hands
 Do you understand?

 Wrapped up in
 What might have been
 I just pretend
 That luck was seized from me
 All alone ( but on the throne )
 The King of tragedy
 Caught up in what could be
 If only God had smiled on me
 Another dance with circumstance
 For His Majesty

 Neither her nor there
 In between is where I'm found
 Holding court with my excuses:
 Will the King ever denounce his crown ??

 Wrapped up in
 What might have been
 I just pretend
 That luck was seized from me
 All alone ( but on the throne )
 The King of tragedy
 Caught up in what could be
 If only God had smiled on me
 Another dance with circumstance
 For His Majesty
