Down On The Queen Lyrics

I saw them ribbon wrap their heroes

Stokin’ swollen canons that might burst

Then shrink within the mouth of history

With a soft answer that could never be believed

And there with anger planted

They made some play in well rehearsed scenes

In the old lines that are still around

And you wonder, why, I’m down on the queen

And you wonder why we’re down on the queen

Lie die lie die lie die lie die lie

Lie die lie die lie lie lie lie die

In legs of tireless repetition

Spin doctors turn their tales

Mouths move in fake arousal

Swallowing the songs of well worn dreams

And bureaucratic missionaries with shriveled heads

Come hardened and come mean

Still their passions flow empty

Because they can’t come down on the queen

Because they can’t come down on the queen

Lie die lie die lie die lie die lie

Lie die lie die lie lie lie lie die

And all the impotent wannabes

Wanna be what they would kill

Buy their new profile makeups

In the prison house of cocktail forms

Don’t tell me same is different

Our pictures lie in broken dreams

And how quickly we follow the fold

And avoid going down on the queen

And avoid going down on the queen

And avoid going down on the queen

And avoid going down on the queen

And avoid going down on the queen

And avoid going down on the queen

Because we can’t come down on the queen

And you wonder why we’re down on the queen

And you wonder why I’m down on the queen

And I wonder why I’m down on the queen
