Once when I was just a child
Little creature running wild in Queen City
Something happened to me there
They slip it to me in the air in Queen CityEvening shadows started to glow
Colors like you'll never know
Sitting pretty on the hill
Ancient of a million thrillsYo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat
Crazy cradle in my leaky boat
Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat
Crazy cradle in my leaky boatTake me home, homeLater on I got around
Stories of the underground in Queen City
Tales of love and squandering
And tales of spirits wandering in Queen CityTumble, crawl and reaching bold
Fill it till the glass is full
Standing, screaming, on a hill
Little creature loves me stillYo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat
Crazy cradle in my leaky boat
Yo, ho, yo, ho, gotta keep afloat
Crazy cradle in this leaky boatCan you take me home?
Take me, take me back homeGotta keep afloat now
In my leaky boat, hmm
Can you take me home? Queen City
In my leaky boat, Queen City, yeah
Take me, take me home, Queen City
Queen CityCan you take me in my leaky boat?
Gotta keep afloat now
Take me, take me home
Queen City in my leaky boat, in my leaky boat
