Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Elton JohnNo man's a jester playing ShakespeareRound your throne room floorWhile the juggler's act is danced uponThe crown that you once woreAnd sooner or laterEverybody's kingdom must endAnd I'm so afraid your courtiersCannot be called best friendsCaesar's had your troublesWidows had to cryWhile mercenaries in cloisters singAnd the king must dieSome men are better staying sailorsTake my word and goBut tell the ostler that his name wasThe very first they choseAnd if my hands are stained foreverAnd the altar should refuse meWould you let me in, would you let me in, would you let me inShould I cry sanctuaryNo man's a jester playing ShakespeareRound your throne room floorWhile the juggler's act is danced uponThe crown that you once woreThe king is dead, the king is deadThe king is dead, the king is dead
