lyrics

FRESHLY MINTED ROYALTY

I'll take two steps to the left
Right on top of this rug
So I can be in place
For you to pull it out from under me
But I won't be surprised
I saw you coming from a mile away
And I still stood in my place

I'm freshly minted royalty dethroned
The doctor has a sickness of his own
Will you give me a reason to misbehave?
Cut the grass around my grave
Will you think of things you meant to say?

It gets cold here at night
Then again it's cold in the day
But everyone will try to convince you
They wouldn't have it any other way
And the neon glows so bright
Even on the darkest of days
But every blinking sign reads
You'll never leave this place
