[00:00:00] Written by：Prince And The Revolution

[00:00:26] Once upon a time in the land of sinaplenty

[00:00:34] There lived a king who didn't deserve 2 be

[00:00:42] He knew not where he came from

[00:00:44] Nor where he was going

[00:00:50] He never once said thank u never please

[00:00:58] Now this king he had a subject named electra

[00:01:06] Who loved him with a passion uncontested

[00:01:14] 4 Him each day she had a smile

[00:01:18] But it didn't matter

[00:01:22] The king was looking 4 the ladder

[00:01:29] Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

[00:01:37] Everybody wants salvation of the soul

[00:01:46] The steps u take are no easy road

[00:01:53] But the reward is great

[00:01:57] 4 Those who want 2 go

[00:02:02] A feeling of self-worth (everybody's looking)

[00:02:06] Will caress u (for the answers)

[00:02:12] The size of the whole wide world will decrease

[00:02:18] (how the story started)

[00:02:20] (And how it will end)

[00:02:21] The love of god's creation will undress u

[00:02:26] And time spent alone my friend will cease

[00:02:36] Everybody's looking 4 the answers

[00:02:44] How the story started and how it will end
