Nobody's Queen

Caught you in the epilogue And banned from the acknowledgements It's a book already written And it's a ring that's been fitted well, before me But she She loves life As the romantic lead And she said Scorched earth, for me? That ain't no fancy feast She's nobody's queen Just somebody we've all seen She won't be your dream But she will She'll find her fill So just remember that All that gleams and All that glitters It ain't real Caught you in the final act I can't backtrack I can't time travel yet Bought your ticket first class And you left the rest of us Stuck in this economy Oh me, oh my, it's going down so fast But she She loves life As the romantic lead And she said Scorched earth, for me? That ain't no fancy feast, no She's nobody's queen Just somebody we've all seen She won't be your dream But she will She'll find her fill So just remember that All that gleams and All that glitters It ain't real I'd pay money to see your face From across the street I'll wait til I'm sixty If you'll age with me I'll age with you I don't really care how ugly we might be She's nobody's queen Just somebody we've all seen She won't be our dream But she'll find her fill And you better, oh, You better bet she will So just remember that All that gleams and All that glitters It ain't real, it ain't real, It ain't real, no, it ain't real, buddy
