I live in a castle
I am a prince
On days I try
To please my queenSoon as I start to smile
My smiling queen
Who sits across the table
By the food she madeLike a bat I flushed the girl
And I flew out my back door
And I came to no one no more
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal trainEyelids are open
When the sun is high
I slip away from my queen's
Grey stateI can be settled down
and be doing just fine
Until I heard that old train
Rolling down the lineWith the light she disappeared
And set me in a whirl
And i hope that beautiful girlI set a fire burning
And I railed on through the night
I set a fire burning
And I railed on through the nightShe peeked around the corner
She offered me her hand
My teeth touched her skin
Then she was gone againNow my queen is fine
In her early grave
After that girl I'll keep her warm
There's nothing more to save
