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 blackbird" |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
There was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom hanging in and around the bed |
|
But by the time the moon rose you has taken off your clothes and had the pillow under your head |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
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 |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |
|
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 |
|
But 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 has taken off your clothes and had the pillow under your head |
|
You got mascara all over your bed sheets, you got mascara all over your clothes! |
|
You 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, and my heart is king, the king of hearts |
