I fell asleep to the sound of motorboats
dragging the lake as the sherrif clears his throat
sounds travel 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 nevermind, it's a stupid story
mine eyes have seen the glory
seen the glory but now they're bored..

even the queen
even the queen
even the queen has been here

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

it's a scary world and people are frightening
but I love the thunder and I love the lightening
my dog thinks I know what to do..
once in a while you get the feeling
nothing's wrong but it's like you're stealing
a moment that wasn't meant for you..
my heart is pure though I've tried to soil it
even the King died on the toilet
do not go gentle into that food fight..
born with a scream, you'll die with a whimper
in between you must lose your temper
thank you very much, good night..

even the queen
even the queen
even the queen
even the queen has been here
