Kingdom of Shy ************** Music: Elliott Kerman Lyrics: Sean Altman Arrangement: Rockapella Lead Vocal: Elliott Kerman Mine is the Kingdom of Shy I'm a consequential lonely guy And don't try to lend me a smile I've got grins piled up to the sky. There's not too much time for friends My official duties never end Want to break from my throne and fly From the castle in the Kingdom of Shy. A buttery day, my battery's wound On the tail of my prey on the merry-go-round My tongue is alive and man, am I stumping For something, or one thing, to get me pumping. Mine is the Kingdom of Shy I'm a monumentally meek kind of guy Is there some paperback I can buy That will teach this pony to fly? An eight-hour train, she sat next to me She told me her name, put her hand on my knee The conversation started to deepen I spent it pretending that I was sleeping. Mine is the Kingdom of Shy I'm a bona fide-ly bashful guy I'm not one who likes to testify But I try, lord knows I'm trying. Standing in the breakdown lane, looking like you can't explain Thumb's out, the sign says, "Going my way?" I slowed it, unrolled it, hold it... (click, click, click, click, click, click, click) Then sped away. Such is the Kingdom of Shy I'm the quintessential quiet guy You may never teach a pony to fly But I try, lord knows how I'm trying And one day you might see this pony fly Straight up in the sky with a lottery smile Direct, non-stop, one way out from the Kingdom of Shy I'm the monumental monarch of the Kingdom of Shy...guy.
