ALKALINE TRIO - Queen Of Pain lyrics

rate me

There's a fire forming, not too far from here

Along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear

Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls

Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City night we crawl

And you've got a funny way of showing off your bathoom surgery

You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me

There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time

I've never met arms like yours

The stars at night are big and bright

Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent

You told me once I made you smile

But we both know damn well I didn't

I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you

Your majesty, you're royal blue

I'm royalty, my king of pain

There's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear

Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear

There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time

I've never seen scars like yours

The stars at night are big and bright

Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent

You told me once I made you smile

But we both know damn well I didn't

I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you

Your majesty, you're royal blue

I'm royalty, my king of pain

The stars at night are big and bright

Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent

You told me once I made you smile

But we both know damn well I didn't

I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you

Your majesty, you're royal blue

I'm royalty, my king of pain
