Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Sunset Rubdown - Black Swan ------------------------------------------ There was a black swan outside the palace It was appointed by the king And people took it as a sign that he needed more time He said, ?I ain?t afraid of no black bird!? There was a rumor of the ghost in the bedroom Hanging in and around the bed But by the time the moon rose You had taken off your clothes And had the pillow under your head There was the face you saw above you In the fever of a hot black dream But it was made out of paper and glue And you were hoping for something a little more realistic You were hoping for the head of the queen My heart is a kingdom Where the king is a heart My heart is king My heart is king My heart is a kingdom Where the king is a heart My heart is king The king of hearts There was the man who told the psychic he would have you If you could only give it on the way He has carved out an avenue for you From the palace to the palisades But now it?s half destroyed And you are half destroyed I see you running down a washed out road I see you running between, between the void My heart is a kingdom Where the king is a heart My heart is king The king of hearts There was a rumor of the ghost in the bedroom Hanging in and around the bed But by the time the moon rose You had taken off your clothes And had the pillow under your head You?ve got mascara all over your bedsheets! You?ve got mascara all over your clothes! You?ve got mascara making broken-heart shapes on your face and you have Yet to see the ghost! My heart is a kingdom Where the king is a heart My heart is king The king of hearts
