The Lyrics

Shrek: The Princess will be at the top of the stairs in the highest room in the tallest tower.
Donkey: Well, what makes you think she'll be there?
Shrek: I read it in a book once.
It's so omnipresent in fairy-tale fantasy
And like anything inside those stories, thought renders it stupid

Locked in the tower, tower, tower
Hey, yeah-hea-eah

If you have a princess kidnapped, the plan
Has to have a part where you stash
Her not in the dungeon, she's special, not some peasant or rebel
Needs a space on a high level
Close to the sky where you'll find that they'll sigh
At the window, light 'til night
Make of that crazy fact what you will, mate
They're still prisoners and that's lame

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-hea-yeah-hea-hea-yeah-ee-yeah-hea-hea-yeah-eah-eah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, waitin', not escapin'
Waitin', waitin', waitin', not escapin'
Waitin', waitin', waitin', not escapin'
Waitin', waitin', waitin', not escapin'
Waitin', waitin', waitin', not escapin'

Locked in the tower, tower, tower
Out the window? Hard to land safe, no farmer's cart
Full of hay imparts some cushion, still harsh and hard (locked in the tower, tower, tower)
Oh-oh-oh, oh, locked in the tower, tower, tower
Through the door? Less hard if the witch ditched smarter guards
No walk in the park though, now we're back hard at start (locked in the tower, tower, tower)
Oh-oh-oh, oh

She's waitin', she's waitin', she's waitin' for a break-in
She's waitin', she's waitin', she's waitin' for a break-in
She's waitin', she's waitin', she's waitin' for a break-in
She's waitin', she's waitin', she's waitin' for a break-in

Probably, it depends: is she depressed?
Does she long for what comes next?
Answer might be "no" if she is holdin'
Any sort of magic that the witch is wantin'
For her own plans
Don't need a white steed to try to save 'em if she can breach
For free, the other hand
She might just be jacked and doors don't like that

Locked in the tower, tower, tower
These days, it's less hard, dress could hide some armour, smart
No songs with ten parts, passive damsels barred in part (locked in the tower, tower, tower)
Oh-oh-oh, oh, locked in the tower, tower, tower
Bet a swerve comes hard, twist the story harsh, less smart
"Room has magic barred", get the clichéd parts back hard (locked in the tower, tower, tower)
Oh-oh-oh, oh

Honestly, might be best if she just left
And never came home, no jest
'Cause when I think of what she'll be doin'
Stuck inside her bedroom for more king-based broodin'
That is bullcrap
She needs to be free, not just more savin', know you want me
To cease my rambles, man
This film could be bad or not, don't know that

Locked in the tower, tower, tower
My brain goes too hard pickin' flaws apart, won't park
I might think I'm smart but you'd rather dart me, harsh (locked in the tower, tower, tower)
Oh-oh-oh, oh, locked in the tower, tower, tower

It's so weird to finally here the original version of this, with a chorus that sounds almost orchestral, after a childhood of only hearing the H-Blockx version.
