The Pride of Queens

[Verse]
Another forward from the prince
How many babies can you kiss?
How many lords can you undress?
As you sit misquoting silence

Have you ever seen the Royal Canal?
Is that somewhere that you know of well?
As Luke is raped by dust and gored by vultures
You bought your way into the culture
Yes you did...

[Chorus]
No not you
Not you too
Oh

You couldn't know what that miracle means
No, not in your kind of hollow scenes
Not about the pride of queens
The pride of queens

[Verse]
Hey that's a nice poem don't let it get away
Though Verlaine may disagree that it's a beautiful day
Gabba gabba hey

I saw the ghost of Joey answer to your sound
I'm sure that you were so busy when they lowered him down
Busy busy

In the end when Ronny lost all of his hair
I couldn't help but notice that you were there
And Hank was home working that night in LA
Instead of some kind of brilliance, you sucked him away
Yes you did...

[Chorus]
No not you
Not you too
Oh

You couldn't know what that miracle means
No, not in your kind of hollow scenes
Not about the pride of queens
The pride of queens

[Verse]
Remember when you violated every living ear
With that little magic trick
That made your garbage just appear
Tell me do you ever stop to wonder why
The rats get fat while brave men die
Yes they do...

[Chorus]
No not you
Not you too
Oh

You couldn't know what that miracle means
No, not in your kind of hollow scenes
Not about the pride of queens
The pride of queens

[Outro]
At the end of your century what have you done?
As the dead in your history rattle and hum

The pride of queens
The pride of queens
The pride of queens
