I live in a castle
I am a prince
On days I try
To please my queen
Soon as I start to smile
With my smiling queen
Who sits across the table
By the food she made
Like a bat I flushed the girl
And I flew out my back door
And I came to no one no more
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal train
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal train
Eyelids are opened
When the sun is high
I slip away from my queen's
Grey stare
I can be settled down
and be doing just fine
Until I heard that old train
Rolling down the line
With the light she disappeared
And set me in a whirl
And I hope that beautiful girl
I set a fire burning
And I railed on through the night
I set a fire burning
And I railed on through the night
She peeked around the corner
She offered me her hand
My teeth touched her skin
Then she was gone again
Now my queen is fine
In her early grave
After that girl I'll keep her warm
There's nothing more to save

I live in a castle

Like a bat I flushed the girl
And I flew out my back door
And I came to no one no more

And railed like a red coal train
She ran without glances
And railed like a red coal train
Eyelids are opened

My teeth touched her skin
Then she was gone again
Now my queen is fine
In her early grave
After that girl I'll keep her warm
There's nothing more to save
