Duly Noted Acoustic Duo - Kings in the Corner

There once was a man they called the joker
How he'd jest and make fun of all the lot
But the queen had grown tired of his teasing
And put him to death right on the spot

There once was a nun they called Ms. Barton
Who had visions of the king's untimely death
But the king had grown tired of her omens
And hung her in Tyburn with all the rest

Playing commons against the kings and queens
And the nobles cut you down with ease
A pair of twos and three of a kind
Wondering if I got the means to go on

There once was a man called Jiles Corey
That could astral project with ease and grace
So the people held a trial in a hurry
And pressed him to death with heavy weights

There once was a man they called Rasputin
Who had healed the sickly boy of the great tsar
Yusapov had grown tired of his tactics
and put a bullet in the head of our dear star

Playing commons against the kings and queens
And the nobles cut you down with ease
A pair of twos and three of a kind
Wondering if I got the means to go on

Playing commons against the kings and queens
And the nobles cut you down with ease
A pair of twos and three of a kind
Wondering if I got the means
Wondering if I got the means to go on
