Black Swan

there was a black swan outside the palace it was appointed by the king and people took it as a sign that he needed more time but you said "I ain't afraid of no black bird!" Oh oh oh oh oh oh... there was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom, hanging in and around the bed but by the time the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes and had the pillow under your head Oh oh oh oh oh oh... there was the face you saw above you in the fever of a hot black dream but it was made out of paper and glue and you were hoping for something a little more realistic you were hoping for the head of the queen Oh oh oh oh oh oh... my heart is a kingdom where the king is a heart and my heart is king my heart is king and my heart is a kingdom where the king is a heart and my heart is king the king of hearts there was the matador who said he would have you if you could only give it up and walk away he has carved out an avenue for you from the palace to the palisades and now it's half destroyed and you are half destroyed i see you running down a washed out road i see you running between the dream and the void my heart is a kingdom where the king is a heart and my heart is king the king of hearts x2 there was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom hanging in and around the bed but by the time the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes and had the pillow under your head you've got mascara all over your bedsheets you've got mascara all over your clothes you've got mascara making broken hearted shapes on your face and you have yet to see the ghost my heart is a kingdom where the king is a heart and my heart is king the king of hearts
