Lyrics

And I will flail under these lights
That seep down from the bitter sky tonight
And I will kick and beat my wrists together
And feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face

Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?

And I hope, your majesty that you like your position
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
And I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go

I'll have to walk a thousand miles
Just to find the ground deserving of your feet
You could throw me down and walk on me
And I'd just look on through my love and through the haze

And I hope, your majesty that you like your position
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
And I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go

The nightingales are singing now
They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees
Their jewelery is thrown into the air
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground
The trumpets call out now, we're home at last

And I hope, your majesty that you like your position
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
And I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom
Just kiss me before I go
