Once upon a time in the land of Sin-aplenty There lived a king who didn't deserve to be He knew not where he came from Nor where he was going He never once said thank you, never please Now this king he had a subject named Electra Who loved him with a passion, uncontested For him each day she had a smile But it didn't matter The king was looking for the ladder Everybody's looking for the ladder Everybody wants salvation of the soul The steps you take are no easy road But the reward is great For those who want for go A feeling of self-worth will caress you The size of the whole wide world will decrease The love of God's creation will undress you And time spent alone my friend, will cease Everybody's looking for the answers How the story started and how it will end What's the use in half a story, half a dream You have to climb all of the steps in between (yeah, we ride) Everybody's looking for the ladder Everybody wants salvation of the soul The steps you take are no easy road But the reward is great For those who want to go (I do) Everybody, everybody's looking (Everybody's looking for the answers) For the answers Everybody wants to know how the story (How the story started) Started and how it will end (started and how it will end) What's the use in half a story, (What's the use in half a story) Half a dream (half of a dream) You, you gotta climb, you gotta climb (you have to climb all) All of the steps in between (the steps in between) Everybody Everybody's looking for that ladder (Everybody's looking for the ladder) Everybody wants salvation of the soul (Everybody wants salvation of the soul) The steps you take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy road) But the reward is great (the reward is great) For those who want to go, (for those who want to go) Those who want to go Everybody, everybody wants (Everybody's looking for the answers) An answer Anyone who know how the story (How the story started) Started, how it will end (started and how it will end) Will it be lonely in the world (What's the use in half a story) What's the use? (half of a dream)
