I live in a castle

I am a prince

On days I try

To please my queen

Soon as I start to smile

With my smiling queen

Who sits across the table

By the food she made

Like a bat I flushed the girl

And I flew out my back door

And I came to no one no more

She ran without glances

And railed like a red coal train

She ran without glances

And railed like a red coal train

Eyelids are opened

When the sun is high

I slip away from my queen's

Weary stare

I can be settled down

And be doing just fine

Until I heard that old train

Rolling down the line

With the light she disappeared

And set me in a whirl

And I hope that beautiful girl

I set a fire burning

And I railed on through the night

I set a fire burning

And I railed on through the night

She peeked around the corner

She offered me her hand

My teeth touched her skin

Then she was gone again

Now my queen is lying

In her early grave

After that girl I'll keep alone

There's nothing left to sav
