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...
