Royalty - Lou Barlow

Who are your royalty, who are you trying to please

Who will you follow tonight

I know that look you get playing dumb for respect

There when our eyes just met, off with you, go play the room

What do you have in mind, kind of Frankenstein

Pieces of people you know

Collected, rearranged, who’s around, how to change

How to be perfectly cool

I’ve seen you bend and shape, turn on me I can wait

Soon we’ll be here all alone

Slowly reappear, not tonight I fear

You’ve found a new you to be

Someone, nothing like me

Don’t let me pick a fight

Let me say goodnight and go ome

Before I’m enraged

You are getting too close to the throne

Could be in me, my jealousy, making things ugly again

Making me curse your name, light a fire of blame

Burning what good things we had

Making me nothing but sad

No, it’s not me, I am one of the many

You’ve used and betrayed, in your way

On your way

And I know you don’t know what you do

When you find your king

When you find your queen

You’ll do anything but try

To be honest and true, not hide
