Symphony For A Queen

It wasn't long, long ago I fooled the guards, but someone tipped them off But all my cards aside, the bells still rang No charms, no claims, no good for goodness' sake Oh, I don't wanna run and hide I don't wanna live a lie I need the spotlight Like a bird inside a cage Exotic, but covered up with lace If what they say is true There's no place for me and you But when I walk my walk When I put my makeup on Look at me, look at me Don't you see your queen? When mother left, the halls did cry As for the world, it went on like before The time passed, and the band began to play First, there were light, then there was sound Then all the stars came out Oh, I don't wanna run and hide I don't wanna live a lie I need a spotlight Like a bird inside a cage Bright-eyed and longing for the stage If what they say is true There's no place for me and you But when I walk my walk (but you better give up before you die) When I put my makeup on (doesn't matter, doesn't matter who you are) Look at me, look at me Don't you see your goddamn queen? There's an empty seat That's where you'll find me There's a broken heel That's where you'll find me If the sun doesn't shine on you Break your glass and cause a scene and tell the world "Just wait, you'll see" There's no more time to cry when the crowd's right there When I walk my walk And when I put my makeup on Look at me, look at me Don't you see your goddamn queen? Ah Ah, oh Ah, oh Ah, ooh-ooh
