Down On The Queen

I saw them ribbon wrap their heroes Stokin' swollen canons that might burst Then shrink within the mouth of history With a soft answer that could never be believed And there with anger planted They made some play in well rehearsed scenes In the old lines that are still around And you wonder, why, I'm down on the queen And you wonder why we're down on the queen Lie die lie die lie die lie die lie Lie die lie die lie lie lie lie die In legs of tireless repetition Spin doctors turn their tales Mouths move in fake arousal Swallowing the songs of well worn dreams And bureaucratic missionaries with shriveled heads Come hardened and come mean Still their passions flow empty Because they can't come down on the queen Because they can't come down on the queen Lie die lie die lie die lie die lie Lie die lie die lie lie lie lie die And all the impotent wannabes Wanna be what they would kill Buy their new profile makeups In the prison house of cocktail forms Don't tell me same is different Our pictures lie in broken dreams And how quickly we follow the fold And avoid going down on the queen And avoid going down on the queen And avoid going down on the queen And avoid going down on the queen And avoid going down on the queen And avoid going down on the queen Because we can't come down on the queen And you wonder why we're down on the queen And you wonder why I'm down on the queen And I wonder why I'm down on the queen
