lyrics

THE LILLIES MAGDALENE SELLS ARE GROWN IN THE LAST HIDDEN GARDEN
OF THESE OLD PIRATE DELLS
BETWEEN LAUGHTER AND BILIGERENCE IS THE OCCASIONAL SLIVER OF INNOCENCE
THAT PASSES A MINUTES WAGE IN TO HER BASKET, BUT THESE DAYS ARE SLIPPING AWAY.

WHAT CAN SHE DO AMONG THESE FOOLS?
IT’S THIS KIND OF TOSSING AND TURNING THAT BIRTHS A QUEEN OF REVOLUTION
OH MY MY IT’S JUST THE SPARK SHE NEEDS, HOW GLORIOUS INDEED.

SO LISTEN UP! SHE’S HAD ENOUGH. SHE’LL START A WAR AND I’LL BE HER
CAPTAIN, COMMANDER, HER LOVER
BETWEEN LAUGHTER AND BILIGERENCE IS AN ARMY OF MINIONS BATHING IN VICTORY
SURROUNDED BY SILVER AND GOLD.

WHAT CAN SHE DO AMONG THESE FOOLS?
IT’S THIS KIND OF TOSSING AND TURNING THAT BIRTHS A QUEEN OF REVOLUTION
OH MY MY IT’S JUST THE SPARK SHE NEEDS, HOW GLORIOUS INDEED.
BUT WILL WE BE EVERLASTING? OR FALL IN TO THE SEA?
LOST IN TIME AND LOST IN HISTORY, IN TRAGIC MISERY

I DON’T DESERVE YOU AND YOU DON’T DESERVE ME
BUT I WON’T DESERT YOU IF YOU DON’T DESERT ME
CAUSE WHEN YOU’RE HERE I FEEL LESS ALONE
SO MUCH LESS ALONE THAN EVER BEFORE
WHEN YOU’RE HERE
I FEEL LESS MANIACLE
LESS CYNICAL
LESS HOPELESSLY AFRAID OF MY FAULTS
