| There’s a bar of rumor road
|
| A dormitory of deeds that interest me
|
| And one such as he or she who feeds off
|
| The floor, the fruits are bittersweet
|
| They were good enough to eat for Eve
|
| So they should be good enough to eat for me
|
| And the madame of this place is my old queen
|
| And she eats these fruits exclusively
|
| But they’re merciless to the angels
|
| The royal blooded, sweetened heart
|
| And my queen is all three of these
|
| The patriots of class
|
| And the cynics they all raise a toast
|
| To the broken and the dead
|
| And the romantic simplifies the most
|
| With the old queens head
|
| I’ve stumbled drunk enough times
|
| From this room to home, with many wounds
|
| To know that nothings mean more than
|
| The force of faith beneath the moon
|
| But I’m a romantic who has never had romance
|
| A lover who’s never had love’s dance
|
| Next to the royalty who is skewered on a lance
|
| The optimists tempt me to take a chance |
