[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Eyelids are opened

When the sun is high

I slip away from my queen's weary stare

I can be settled down

And be doing just fine

Until I hear that old train

Rolling down the line

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

She peeked around the corner

She offered me her hand

My teeth touched her skin

Then she was gone again

[Verse 4]

Now my queen is lying

In her early grave

After that girl, I'll keep alone

There's nothing left to save
