Checkmate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the show
Are you ready to go?
With your swords up high and your guns down low
Have you come for the action, come for the sport?
There's a million ways to spill blood in the court
It's a free-for-all, it's a dog-eat-dog
Don't be surprised if, when you die
You're met with rigorous applause
You wanna win? You got a chance
All you've gotta do is dance
Oh, move your feet and move 'em fast
Who knows how long your limbs will last?

[Chorus]
Who is your king of the castle now?
I am taking control of the board game
Show me some strategy
You're in a daze, I can't complain so
Checkmate, move along

[Verse 2]
Do your muscles ache?
You may need a break
It's a common response for your hands to shake
I know it's not easy losing a match
Especially when it's a girl kicking your ass
Sit down and relax
'Cause I'm the teacher, you're the class
Get your notebooks out, give that note a pass
You know no one is perfect but I'm pretty close
You should've seen you face, a right disgrace
When I came in through that door

[Bridge]
Are you the queen or are you the pawn?
Will you master the night or wait for the dawn?
Is it worth all the blood and the damage done?
Would you die under the spotlight just to hear all the applause?
Are you the queen or are you the pawn?
Will you master the night or wait for the dawn?
Is it worth all the blood and the damage done?
Would you die under the spotlight just to hear all the applause?
Are you the queen or are you the pawn?
Will you master the night or wait for the dawn?
Is it worth all the blood and the damage done?
Would you die under the spotlight just to hear all the applause?

[Chorus]
Who is your king of the castle now?
I am taking control of the board game
Show me some strategy
You're in a daze, I can't complain so
Checkmate, move along

[Outro]
Move along, move along now
