Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Queen for a day

In the mirror the lines start to form

And you feel like you’ve hardly been born

In the end for all vanities pay you were queen

You a ghost on a screen

Through your tears you see what has been

In the end for all vanities pay you were queen

You were hot you held the cards

Now you’re cold you they do discard

You were young happy and gay a queen

Well through the valium and pills

The shrinks and the bills

Now it’s time to pay you were queen

Queen for a day

Queen for a day

Queen for a day

Queen for a day
