Lyrics
I don’t wanna go Something tells me no, no, no, no But traces in the sand The lines inside my hand say go, go, go Beware of a place A smile on a bright shiny face I’ll never return, how do you know Tarot woman I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know She can take you there The entrance to the fair, my, my, my Ride the carousel Cast a magic spell, you can fly, fly, fly Beware of a place A smile on a bright shiny face I’ll never return, how do you know Tarot woman I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know High noon Oh I’d sell my soul for water Nine years’ worth Of breakin’ my back There’s no sun in the shadow of the wizard See how he glides Why he’s lighter than air Oh I see his face Where is your star Is it far, is it far, is it far When do we leave I believe, I believe, yes, I believe In the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone Just to see him fly Don’t know why Now where do we go.. Danger, danger the Queen’s about to kill There’s a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no move away from harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I’m no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king, yeah Strike him down Power, power happens every day Power, devour all along the way Oh no, move away from harm I need a spell and a charm And fly like the wind I’m no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Strike him down Treason, treason, the spectre looms again Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then Oh no, move away from harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the rainbow I’m no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king Got to take his crown Includes excerpts of “A Light in the Black,” “Tarot Woman,” “Stargazer,” and “Kill the King” “Kill the King” originally released by Rainbow in 1978 on the Long Live Rock 'N' Roll album.
