Summary- Case (Casey) Song fic
Spoilers- That one with Tinga. I am having
a mental block with title at the moment.
Disclaimer- You are pretty stupid if you
have the delusion that I own Dark Angel or No Doubt's song, Tragic Kingdom
Author's Note- I came up with the idea
while I was listening to the song. If it doesn't seem to fit, I apologize. And
I know that it is lame but bear with me. I've never done a song fic before so
this is (yet again) new territory. And Microsoft Word is evil. By the way,
(insert inevitable groan here) I'd be happy for ne body to check out various
other fics that I have uploaded in this section. It would be appreciated. And
besides, now I don't have Girle_Girl (who used to live down the street) to
bully into reviewing for me. I'd like to have 5 reviews that I didn't have to
beg for so please take pity on me. Now that my rambling has bored you to death,
on with the story!

Once Upon A Time
*Once there was a castle far away where a
princess lived with all of her brothers and sisters. There was a mean king who
hurt all of them. One day, the princess and some of her brothers and sisters
ran away. The rest of them stayed and tried to find them so that they could
worship the king too.
That was a good story when I was kid, Mom.
But when were you going to tell me that it was real. I'm 17! I need you. *
Once was a magical place
Over time it was lost
Now the fortune of the kingdom
Is looked up in its dungeon vaults
*Are you that fortune Mom? Are you locked
up in a cage back there? What did they do to you? What is going on? *
The castle floor ties in traps
With coiled wires set back
Decoyed by old cheese
*Are you like all of the people that stayed
behind? Or did they feed you to the nomblies? *
Now the drawbridge has been lifted
As the millions
They drop to their knees
*What do those people do? Is it as bad as
it was in the stories? *
They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds
*What is so bad about him? *
His tears are frozen stiff
Icicles drip from his eyes
*What is it like there? Does anyone come?
Or even care? *
The cold wind blows as it snows
On those who fight to get in
On heads that are small
Disillusioned as they enter
They're unaware what's
Behind castle walls
*What happens once you are back at the
castle? What will the king do to me? Does he even exist? *
But now it is written in stone
The king has been overthrown
By jesterly fools
And the power of the people
Shall come to believe that they do rule
*Does any one care? *
They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds
His tears are frozen stiff
Icicles drip from his eyes
The car neared the gate.
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open
Case looks at all of the figures in
fatigues.
Have they lost their minds
Or are they just all blind mice
*Once there was a princess named Tinga…*
We've heard all their stories
One too many times
Hypnotized by fireflies
That glow in the dark
*Why won't they stop!? I don't want to see
guns and marching formations! I want you Mom and I want Dad. *
Midgets that disguise themselves
As tiny dwarfs
The parade that's electrical
It serves no real purpose
Just takes up a lot of juice
Just to impress us
*Where is everyone!? I want to go home! I
want to play baseball and eat pizza! I want to lie in bed all morning! I want
to leave here. Some one please help me!!!!*
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open
