lyrics

I could only see your face in mirrors of blacked out dance halls.
Your hair shun bright like the sun, your eyes wicked like the moon.
You said you'd had enough, and school wasn't playing on your bluff.
You're gonna run away, you said your kingdom awaits.

So you packed your bags, and made way with daddys' cash.
And headed for the road, hitch-hiked miles up the coast.
Where the neons wept and the sailors stopped and stared.
You were the queen again, the castle of the dead.

Please please, don't you realise, it's all a part of their disguise.
Queen of the accolades, happiness trapped inside a cage.
Baby don't you see, we're all pawns in the game of greed.
Coz money ain't nothing but a drug we love to smoke...
But you always come down.

The last thoughts occur, said woman swimming by the shore.
The sun begins to set, she fades I'm filled with regret.
I signed the treaty that read 'have mercy on the man
who thinks hope is a friend'.
