It's not down to you to tell me who to be,
I'm what I am, I'm what you see,
Maybe I hide between too many lies,
But you don't trust me, I see in your eyes.
So calm your tongue, you're turning on,
Your fiery flames could burn the sun,
I want you now before how long,
You'll find out soon, if I'm not gone.
Tears like oceans flood your eyes,
And dreams of someday flying by,
When did your voice go tighten up,
Like a noose around my lonely touch?
So carry on dancing with your queens,
Your scarlet make-up cracks and bleeds,
Your scarf still covers your lips and mouth,
And nobody here can hear you now.
(Chorus)
So drink up, drink on, life's just begun,
This is just the point of moving on,
We will never be quite the same,
I know that now, these things have changed.
The Earth still turns, the moon aswell,
Stars and suns still live to tell,
Tell their tales of what they've seen,
When the joker danced alone with the queen.
