The King Is Dead But The Queen Is Alive

Pink · Other Songs - Pink

The King is dead but the Queen is alive,

Off with his head I am done with his lies,

A fair win I have fought for my life,

A clean slate after all this time,

A revolution and now I am in charge,

My evolution is to shoot for the stars,

His first mistake he underestimates,

He didn't bother to appreciate.



Chorus:

Rah rah rah,

Sis boom fuckin' blah

There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,

Three cheers for the one that got away,

You were just blah blah blah,

I was oh my god,

And unlike your anatomy,

I'm glad I had it in me,

Now The King,

The King,

The King,

The King is dead,

But The Queen is alive (repeat)



SECOND VERSE:

I guess the village didn't raise you right,

Don't think nobodies gonna mourn you tonight,

No more licks to wet your appetite,

You make me sick I didn't wanna fight,

I thought we ruled the heavens in the earth,

I really thought I was the only girl,

Your secrets have all been revealed to me,

You've been dethroned there goes your legacy



Chorus

Rah rah rah,

Sis boom fuckin' blah

There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,

Three cheers for the one that got away,

You were just blah blah blah,

I was oh my god,

And unlike your anatomy,

I'm glad I had it in me,

Now The King,

The King,

The King,

The King is dead,

But The Queen is alive (repeat)



THIRD VERSE:

There are consequences in this life,

A punishment that fits the crime,

Your last words, I heard I'm sorry,

Now look at me in all my glory,



The King is dead but the queen is alive,

I wear your crown and I look quite nice,

I almost let you get the best of me

But no ones ever gonna get the queen. (Scream),



GUITAR SOLO



Chorus

Rah rah rah,

Sis boom fuckin' blah

There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,

Three cheers for the one that got away,

You were just blah blah blah,

I was oh my god,

And unlike your anatomy,

I'm glad I had it in me,

Now The King,

The King,

The King,

The King is dead,

But The Queen is alive



(Repeat)
