crystal queen Lyrics

i want the crystal queen.
go call her on the phone.
she smells like cigarettes.
she feels like silicone.
she feels like silicone.

i want the crystal queen, hey.
she'll kill the dream.
she'll kill the dream, the crystal queen.

september '95 i bought her on the street.
i took her home a couple times,
now she never leaves.
she never seems to leave.

i want the crystal queen.
she'll kill the dream.
she'll kill the dream, the crystal queen.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The booklet says "September 9 to 5, I bought her on the street".

Being that Cornog was homeless for a while and tasted the gritty underbelly of poverty in NYC, I think this is pretty clearly about a prostitute. Beneath that, he seems to be saying that her dependency is taking down his life with hers.

wtf, that new thing that shows up at the end of the lyrics--"lyricfind"--won't let me edit anything, and it's not even typed the way i submitted it anymore.. i didn't use any capital letters! that is a retarded, unnecessary, and inconvenient feature that i hope songmeanings won't keep using. i'm pretty sure what's going on is, if a song is popular enough for lyricfind to know about it, those 3 lines of text show up automatically at the bottom of every single lyric page that is in their database, and it changes the already existing lyrics posted by a songmeanings user and swaps it with their version. i've noticed that it doesn't come up on song lyrics that are by more obscure bands.
