Sunset Rubdown - Black Swan lyrics

rate me

there was a black swan outside the palace

it was appointed by the king

and people took it as a sign that he needed more time

but you said "I ain't afraid of no black bird!"

there was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom,

hanging in and around the bed

but by the time the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes

and had the pillow under your head

there was the face you saw above you

in the fever of a hot black dream

but it was made out of paper and glue

and you were hoping for something a little more realistic

you were hoping for the head of the queen

my heart is a kingdom

where the king is a heart

and my heart is king

my heart is king

and my heart is a kingdom

where the king is a heart

and my heart is king

the king of hearts

there was the matador who said he would have you

if you could only give it up and walk away

he has carved out an avenue for you

from the palace to the palisades

and now it's half destroyed

and you are half destroyed

i see you running down a washed out road

i see you running between the dream and the void

my heart is a kingdom

where the king is a heart

and my heart is king

the king of hearts

there was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom

hanging in and around the bed

but by the time the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes

and had the pillow under your head

you've got mascara all over your bedsheets

you've got mascara all over your clothes

you've got mascara making broken hearted shapes on your face

and you have yet to see the ghost

my heart is a kingdom

where the king is a heart

my heart is king

the king of hearts<br />
