Kings and Queens - Killing Joke

Just as you're waiting there, you sit up in your evil chair; Looking down on me, well, you never really give a shit I've been searching for you. I've stuck up for you Too many times. Well I got my real answer And now I am my only war. Each time I thought ahead, I had answers. You come again. Evil answers throw me back down in the hole. Just when I would think to pass, Nothings gonna give. But each time you walk on by, Do you really think I...? It never really feels too good when I'm Holding everything inside of me; now that you would Well, I've been searching for ya; stuck up for you too many times. Well, I got my real answer. Now, I am my only war. Each time I thought ahead, I had answers. You come again; Evil answers throw me back down in the hole. Just when I would think to pass; Nothings gonna give. But each time you walk on by, Do you really think I watch? Each time I thought ahead, I had answers; You come again. Evil answers throw me back down in the hole. Just when I would think to pass; Nothings gonna give. But each time you walk on by, Do you really think I... care?

I remember in the day, I was just a girl Thinking how cool this is My man is calling from jail I know I was naïve, a fool in love And looking back it was doomed to fail, life was too tough Feels like a million years ago But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward We were so young We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Come to your mama's house, I'd stay too late I get in trouble, and they're sending out the search party I think you ended it, 'bout fourteen times Just for the thrill of gettin' back together after the fight Feels like a million years ago But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward We were so young We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life And I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward But I hope you're well, got what you wanted You still cross my mind, are you OK? I pray you'll get it right next time So maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe in another life Maybe we'll be better next time We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything We could have far in the world, when I was your girl Two diamonds from the gutter We could have been kings and queens We could have lived all our dreams If I could have set you free, I would, believe me But we didn't get it right this time Maybe in another life

Well take it easy While the world goes crazy As it's just another day And we've all been through the mangle And our pockets are empty But we'll live like kings and queens Hear the choirs of noise sing Take a load off my mind soothe me Live like kings and queens Well easy sleazy In and out and back again Feel a power running through me And i'm alive and kicking I accept submission To the pleasures of the flesh And the joy of pain Satisfy me satisfy Live like kings and queens I said: "take it easy "Sanity has come" I can never undo The wrong of the beginning There's so many hungry But i'm gonna turn a blind eye 'Cos i've got to live now Rejoice and kill your heart 'cos i say... Live like kings and queens

I was born to see two thousand years Of man's effect upon the planet Extinction seems to be a plausible risk Whatever happens well I'm part of all this My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you Fire burn all our uncertainties Water wash away impurities Contradictions and predictions abound Yes I believe that we can turn it around My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you My life I've been waiting for this moment My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you

Adorations Courage and Cowards move, heroes to ecstasy Welcomes of war and wounds, vigil and victory Structures of atoms dance, sugar towards the taster, Prey to the predator, love as we're falling down Through light and laughter flow, to dirge and death we go, Mindless processions move, lanterns of burning towns, Welcome to fray and feast, bliss in all sorrows found, Rhythms and random moves and waves of adorations. Patterns I'm finding As pain and joy and sorrow mingle. Patterns we're finding Our faces raised in adorations. Deserts are paradise, awake to genocides. Delight and suffering, these roles that we have found Nourished by food we eat, hungered by waste excrete From apes or sons of god, let every act be sacred. Patterns I'm finding As pain and joy and sorrow mingle. Patterns we're finding Our faces raised in adorations.
