lyrics

EVEN THE QUEEN

I fell asleep to the sound of motorboats
dragging the lake, sheriff clears his throat
sounds carry very far at night

Looked so long for some common bond
There it is at the bottom of the pond
The mayor's daughter won't come back this time

Even the Queen
Even the Queen
Even the Queen has been here

Tried to shake his hand but he only had one arm
Here's my sorry smile, there goes all my charm
What was my face like before?

He said never mind, it's a stupid story
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Seen the glory but now they're bored

Even the Queen etc.

once in a while you think maybe
once in a while you drink baby
once in a while you find
once in a while you don't mind

It's a scary world, people are frightening
But I love the thunder, I love the lightning
My dog thinks I know what to do

Once in a while you get the feeling
Nothing's wrong, it's like you're stealing
A moment that wasn't meant for you

My heart is pure though I have tried to soil it
Even the king died upon the toilet
do not go gentle into that food fight

Born with a scream you die with a whimper
In between you must lose your temper
thank you very much good night
