Queen Of Pain Lyrics
There's a fire forming, not too far from here
Along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear
Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls
Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City that we crawl
And you've got a funny way of showing off your bathoom surgery
You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never met arms like yours
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
There's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear
Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never seen scars like yours
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
Along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear
Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls
Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City that we crawl
You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never met arms like yours
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never seen scars like yours
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm royalty, my king of pain

matt, dan, and drummer guy never cease to amaze me... they totally rock out with this doubling up of the guitars technique, which is kinda interesting to me... but my favourite part: "I've never met arms like yours." maybe they had my friend and i in mind when they wrote this song, cos damn, it hits VERY close to home... even the "new york city that we crawl" reference... see, i'm a queen of pain myself (however, i don't show off my scars, and if i did, it wouldn't be in a funny way) but i never really realized the things i was inadvertantly doing to my poor friend or "my king" "I'm not much of a jester, but i'd test poisoned food for you" that's sadistic yet sweet at the same time, same ole' skiba ;P gotta love it
this is for all the idiots that think this is a HWM song... alkaline trio only covered ROOFTOPS you FUCKING MORONS, this is their own song.
also, this is not a HWM cover, idiot. even if they did the split album together, doesnt mean that all the songs on the EP are HOT WATER's. they each put a few songs on the album to get attention of both of eachother band's fans
I know this is a song about a friend of Matt's, but there's a lot more too it. It's about vices and addiction. "Worn out all courtsy, we've made out curtain call." (Overdose). Bathroom surgeries" cutting to "cool down" - It realease opiates and endorphins to try and hell the wound so you get an rush"
-Ill test poison foods for you - I'll do the first hit, line etc so you're safe I die.
"can't put out the fire that resides in you my dear......I've never seen scars like yours" They're both obvious addicts.
"You told me once, I made you smile once, we both know damn well I didn't - get hot her hooked.
a lot of their songs are about being dopesick
this song is so good. i dont understand how all of there songs are so true to life. as emo as this sounds this song helped me with a shitty break up so much.
this song is great. takes a while to decipher is metaphors...but gosh. i love this song more and more every time i hear it.
peachy song, i like the beat. i've only heard about 7 songs by Alkaline Trio. but this one tops it all. "you told me once i made you smile but we both know damn well i didnt im not much of a jester but id test poisoned food for you" best part in the song i think.. but whos miss vincent?
vincent van gogh painted "The Starry Night" and he's calling the girl he's addressing Miss Vincent because the stars in her eyes are big and bright, as they are in the painting. How redundant was that? Hmm you should look at the painting; it's one of my favourites.
Hot Water Music sucks donkey nuts. Get a fucking throat surgery for christ's sake. How horrible of a voice can you get. And by the way, this isn't a HWM cover moron.
THIS SONG IS SO SO GOOD.. "but I'd test poisoned food for you" i really love that one part because back in the era of the virgin queen they all wanted to kill her, they poisoned her gowns, and food aswell so really this refers back to the whole royalty thing again which makes this song EVEN MORE GREAT.
