Senor and the Queen Lyrics
Show me your hands!
I wanna know how you dance, pretty baby, by the light of the moon.
If you carry your lovers around in a heart like a tomb with a view.
I wanna know how you lose, pretty baby, does it show in your eyes?
Were you born to be a runner or are you a casual sigh?
Did the boys at school break your precious heart in two?
And in every sad, sad country song,
Is there a little bitty piece of 'em still hanging on?
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine, my dear.
Then we'll bury these old ghosts here.
Where'd you get those eyes?
What do you see with those eyes, pretty darling, in the dead of the night?
Are you saying your prayers or are you glowing like the metal on the edge of the knife?
Baby whose names sounds right on the lips of my Queen?
Am I speaking in riddles, or do you feel what I mean?
Are you dying to move, or are you dying to be the one moved?
And would you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Señora,
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel.
I'll sing you a song and I'll dance you a dance right now,
And we'll bury these old ghosts down.
I wanna know how you dance, pretty baby, by the light of the moon.
If you carry your lovers around in a heart like a tomb with a view.
I wanna know how you lose, pretty baby, does it show in your eyes?
Were you born to be a runner or are you a casual sigh?
Did the boys at school break your precious heart in two?
Is there a little bitty piece of 'em still hanging on?
You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine, my dear.
Then we'll bury these old ghosts here.
What do you see with those eyes, pretty darling, in the dead of the night?
Are you saying your prayers or are you glowing like the metal on the edge of the knife?
Baby whose names sounds right on the lips of my Queen?
Am I speaking in riddles, or do you feel what I mean?
Are you dying to move, or are you dying to be the one moved?
If I could make you feel like he used to make you feel.
I'll sing you a song and I'll dance you a dance right now,
And we'll bury these old ghosts down.

"Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife" comes from Meat Loafs' song Paradise By Dashboard Light
I came on here to say the exact same thing! Does anyone know what that expression means though? And in Paradise by the Dashboard Light" doesn't it say "blowing like the metal on the edge of the knife"?

I don't have a clue what it means in either song except that a reference to "Paradise" suggests something to do with teenage lust pretty much ruining two people's lives...?

Shake, shake, shake, Senora is from Beetlejuice, isn't it?
Awesome song, I love singing along to the "Shake, shake, shake" part.
its too good
Seriously this song is amazing. actually everything gaslight does is but this ep is the best cd I've ever bought and I think if you don't own it you need to buy is asap. That said I think this song is about him trying to get a girl to forget about her past lovers and just have fun tonight and dance. She seems to hear a song a think about a boy "And in every sad, sad country song, Is there a little bitty piece of 'em still hanging on?" and he is saying to bury the past and move on. Over all this isn't the best lyrics but the song is amazing. I actually don't see many references in this song, most gaslight songs reference a ton of other songs, but the thing about Met Loaf is interesting and I never knew it.
