Don't Leave Queens Lyrics

As every age of empire

Sees a sun that never sets

So too the underground will thrive at night

The scavengers and miscreants

So I found myself a pirate

In the county of the Queen

I take what I can when I can get it

Though nothing's what it seems

As I wind these mangrove backstreets

On the nights when I may roam

I think of you and the life I'd give you

If I had anything at all

So I'll board up all the windows

'Cause there's a blackout on the way

There's a fog outside

So we don't leave Queens tonight

Now, I don't know how I went to shambles

And I don't know if you get my letters

And this island life's so fucking stressful

That it seems I've lost all my direction

The last thing I remember

I was at a pub in Woodside

In a cloud of skull and bones

Who tell me everything's all right (all right!)

As I wound these mangrove backstreets

Trying to find my way back home

I thought of you, so far away

Just like my lonely bungalow

Where we board up all the windows

'Cause there's a blackout on the way

There's a fog outside

So we don't leave Queens tonight

I came-to via satellite at some power plant

Unsure of what the circumstance could be

That led me here

But intoxicants seem certain

So like Washington fled Brooklyn

I was found East River-bound

When the law caught up I was so fucked up

They just took me to my house

Where we board up all the windows

'Cause there's a blackout on the way

There's a fog outside

So we don't leave Queens tonight

There's a fog outside

So we don't leave Queens tonight.
