Royal Empress

I don't know about the legend

But my God how we all rambled on

At how the Royal Empress spread her arms out

Arresting miserly the sun

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

So we all walked around in the yard

We all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

I don't know about our edges

But God how we all talked them down

While the royal empress spread her arms out

Arresting miserly the sun

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

So we all walked around in the yard

We all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out

(Alive alive, alive alive)

And one of us got up way too fast

And his heart gave out just like that

And the other one, he never had a chance

I thought everyone was gonna make it out alive

And everyone was gonna make it out alive

So we all walked around in the yard

And we all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out alive

And everyone was gonna make it out

And everyone was gonna make it out

And so we all walked around in the yard

And we all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out

And one of us got up way too fast

And his heart gave out just like that

And the other one, he never had a chance

And we all walked around in the yard

And we all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out
