A city scene, darkness falls, now skate hard down the gallery walls,

Explore those themes, I've heard your work's informed by queens, so is mine now

E                            Bsus/B                        Asus/A
There's a plague on, there's a rat-tailed ensemble burying all of our

heads in the sand...

Now wipe that look from your face, the world is that which is the case..

    A          E          A                  E               A
Its okay to be seen, dont dethrone the drama queen, just for putting
     E             B
