lyrics

I have no wishes upon which to think
The triggers released
The bulleit stings
Cupid is out laughing at me again
His cohort the queen
Takes her cut from the top
One more to the perfect crime
Toasts her flask full to love
the perfect crime

CHORUS
You never were a princess how could you be a queen
You’re always leaving with the best parts of me
You never were a princess how could you be a queen
My hearts broken embers are rolling down the stream

The only thing I had left to lose
You took from me with grace and aplomb
Dancing your twostep
In fluevogs and bourbon
Sharpening your blade
on the callous of my heart
Stopping mid-pirouette
My favorite part

CHORUS
You never were a princess how could you be a queen
You’re always leaving with the best parts of me
You never were a princess how could you be a queen
My hearts broken embers are rolling down the stream

We met in the blur of your victimful crimes
Of shattered truth and the allure of white lines
We loosed those chains and started again
Or so your stunning green eyes said
Looking back from the rear view mirror
Lipstick smeared
on a crumpled tissue
Never used for tears

CHORUS
