Queen of Kings

You're a magic wish with sparkle power
Half a sandwich in the morning shower
Write a letter on a ragged apron
Throw a bottle in the flooded basement
You and I we swam troubled water
All the doubts that we refused to slaughter
Now we know what crazy means
Now we know who killed the childhood queen
We're on the inside now, o my
Don't cry
We're the oracles of paste and makeup
All the love notes we get paid to rake up
After all the crowds have gone
After the killing in the Colosseum
It's a tragedy of tiny portions
Lose your strength in spite of your contortions
Through your whiskers you detect a change
The queen of kindergarten pushes you on stage
You better give it all away
You may still save the day

Heart of Candy

Chlorine fresh eyed newcomer
So glad you made the trip
The sparkling eyes of summer
Are slowly waking up
You move against the water
You move against your shape
You fill your veins with solder
Scampering down the shining fire escape
My heart is made of candy
It's melting beneath my skin
Dangle me off the landing
I want to fight to find my way back in

Even in the Darkness

Sparrows on a line
Strung across the sky
Full of summer wine
You try to catch their eyes
And when the sun falls off its wire and it shatters on the lawn
Even in the darkness there’s a song
Break your silver dream
Pull its stuffing out
Baby make a scene
The patrons shuffle out
And when the hope that bore you sweetly through the wilderness is gone
Even in the darkness there’s a song
Night is falling fast
Unfurling stars above
None of this can last
The things we've come to love
And when the last electric lightbulb in the universe is blown
And when the last electric lightbulb in the universe is gone
Even in the darkness there’s a song
