Half My Kingdom lyrics

I surrender the other half of my kingdom Eight square meters in my fairy kingdom On an island of extinct vernaculars Cupolas made from last year’s straw I surrender Gems from the crown, two dried up eyes Slippery tail of a ship rat The fifth paw of a stray dog I surrender Spring will punish me for my frivolity I’ll come back to knock on the gate Stretching out a hand, begging for snow in winter I surrender No kicking, no screaming, no sound, no shame The laboratory keys are with the guard I get out Sunrise breathing down my neck Sunrise shrugs its shoulders, taking a farewell bow I surrender the other half of my kingdom
