The Queen Is Dead

The Queen Is Dead

Don't see how we made it this far

From the back of the room I see you cutting your scars

Red light right right in my eye

She was built for the sinning

had a desperate smile

You were led to the killing

an innocent child

And I watched you dying

By and by

I was cold in the rapture

I was cold in your need

I fell from my throne and cried Maria

Gotta hold to my mother hold to my broken pride

But you crawled to my body on your hands and knees

Said you'll give the power of a thousand armies

But I heard not a word and I took the knife inside

And it was too much to take

The sun is rising over Babylon town

Where we walk to the garden when we both came down

You'd be jump jump jump jumpin' those gates

We turned another corner and you said to me,

You know you never were the women that you ought to be

and I lick my lips just tasting your taste

So we danced in the shadow of our disbelief

And you fell to your knees and I cried Maria

Put my lips to your hands, raise again my pride

Flying high on the wings of your ecstacy

Riding tall at the helm of your broken armies

Til we fall to the fight

Fall to the dark inside

And it was too much to take...

Take as much you can...
