Lyrics

DON'T TELL THE QUEEN
I have lived my life with my head in a hole
the hole is in the heavens and the heavens are a haven that i'm glad to know
if i take my head out - out of the hole
all the truth that's in the heavens about fallen angel felons spills all over the floor

a pretty big mess for the bishops to clean
just don't tell the queen

helping your brother well that's a noble thing to do
if helping is hiding all the lies about who's lying down then who's helping who?
i have seen eyes crying - looking for a home
eyes who have seen lying thieves stealing souls for silver and a thrill of their own

a pretty sick mess for the cardinal to clean
just don't tell the queen

when i lived with my parents i could have killed them everyday
that doesn't give me any right to hold that that gun real tight against their noggin that way
an agent tells a sergeant matters regarding world peace
too much intelligence can get your sergeants and lieutenants counting all the deceased

a pretty big mess for the generals to clean
just don't tell the queen

even in the heavens there are lines everywhere
you can count them as you cross them just don't tell your tally to someone who isn't up there
up there in that hole - the hole that's in the sky
a sky that's not too far beyond the atmosphere that is right here around you and i

and so i live my life with my head in a hole
the hole is in the heavens and the heavens are a haven that i'm glad to know
