Queen Of Your Heart

The queen of your heart isn’t out there
Even if you had the energy to look
You say you see her sneer everywhere
You beg her, soundless, look up from your book
The queen of your life as a movie
Her hero piling tributes on her skirt
Where is the girl, so groovy?
She’s underneath your eyes ruling your hurt
Don’t put her on a throne
I know that’s the quickest road to a life alone
The witch who let you win king of the mountain
And pie in sky dreams just stuck on the roof
And just one taste was so intoxicating
That now, how could that witch be so aloof?
The virgin and the whore danced right before you
That witch let you see what you want to see
If those who hear this song feel sorry for you
Then, maybe, you’ll stop asking this of she
Don’t put her on a throne
I know that’s the quickest road to a life alone
The simple knight who still just doesn’t get it
After Rip Van Winkle countless time to think
It won’t become your life if you don’t let it
Give up the queen, she didn’t even wink
Don’t put her on a throne
I know that’s the quickest road to a life alone
Don’t put her on a throne
I know that’s the quickest road to a life alone

Ghost

In that back room where we used to dare
You knew there was a ghost in there
Between the crates, inside the up-turned canoe
In that coffin that you dare me to
I had to touch it, I had to
Her hand shot out, nails throat, eyes glued
Ghost
You ran inside to tell your sister
The ghost pulled me, she tried to kiss her
Mouth, no teeth, my tongue pulled in
Your sister threatened all your toys
She said, “Don’t lie, you’re just a little boy!”
A knowing fear inside her eyes
She sat you down and held you tight
You prob’ly tried to run and fight
If you could you would have saved me, right?
You waited round for hours and hours
Scared, your sister’s expression sours
The clicking clock, no scream, she cowers
Ghost
Your parents home and dinner’s on
You hide behind, “now, where’s she gone?”
The ghost and I saw curtains drawn
Finally you crept back there
Felt sorry for your meanest dare
and left it set for the next player
Once there was a girl like me
She tried to cry out
She tried to climb out
She tried to claw her way out
Ghost
