Lyrics:
there's a fire forming, not too far from here
along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear
worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls
like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City that we crawl
and you've got a funny way of showing off your bathoom surgery
you said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me
there's something i should tell you, for we may not have much time
i've never met arms like yours
the stars at night are big and bright
deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
you told me once i made you smile
but we both know damn well i didn't
i'm not much of a jester, but i'd test poisoned food for you
your majesty, you're royal blue
i'm royalty, my king of pain
there's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear
can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear
there's something i should tell you, for we may not have much time
i've never seen scars like yours
the stars at night are big and bright
deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
you told me once i made you smile
but we both know damn well i didn't
i'm not much of a jester, but i'd test poisoned food for you
your majesty, you're royal blue
i'm royalty, my king of pain
the stars at night are big and bright
deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
you told me once i made you smile
but we both know damn well i didn't
i'm not much of a jester, but i'd test poisoned food for you
your majesty, you're royal blue
i'm royalty, my king of pain
