Cause there’s a crack in his plastic crown
Sebab ada celah di mahkota plastiknya
And his throne of ice is melting
Dan takhta esnya mencair
He climbed his ladder
Dia menaiki tangga
And there was nothing there
Dan tidak ada apa-apa di sana
And now it’s a long way down
Dan sekarang jalannya jauh

Cause on and on and on he goes
Sebab terus dan terus dia pergi
Dancing on the grave
Menari di kuburan
Of what he thought was still alive
Dari apa yang dia pikir masih hidup
On and on and on he goes
Terus dan terus dia pergi
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
Menari di rumah-rumah yang terbuat dari ranting
And castles made of sand
Dan istana terbuat dari pasir

He sighs and his head is filled with
Dia mendesah dan kepalanya dipenuhi
Cartoons and fairy tales
Kartun dan dongeng
And he’s trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
Dan dia terjebak dalam dungeon boneka
With smiles on their faces
Dengan senyum di wajah mereka
He’s built a pretty cage
Dia membangun kandang yang cantik
His shows on a beautiful stage
Pertunjukannya di panggung yang indah
With candy coated prison bars
Dengan batang penjara yang dilapisi permen
And chains that look like jewelry
Dan rantai itu terlihat seperti perhiasan

Cause there’s a crack in his plastic crown
Sebab ada celah di mahkota plastiknya
And his throne of ice is melting
Dan takhta esnya mencair
He climbed his ladder
Dia menaiki tangga
And there was nothing there
Dan tidak ada apa-apa di sana
And now it’s a long way down
Dan sekarang jalannya jauh

Cause he lives inside
Karena dia tinggal di dalam
Of fairy tales and castle lands
Dari dongeng dan istana
And there’s room inside
Dan ada ruang di dalamnya
For false expectations and illusions
Untuk harapan dan ilusi palsu
