lyrics

queen anne’s head is missing
but i still remember kissing
her mouth
areolae glistening
as i made my way further
to the south
crimes
may have been committed
but the judge was high
and the jury’s out
all your friends are listening
and i don’t know what to say
to them now

i can’t stop walking kinnear in my mind
through all the history she left behind
i know it’s never the time
but we think that it is
and i thought it was mine
i can’t stop walking kinnear in my mind

queen anne’s heart is bursting
and there isn’t any room
at the inn
no
not for girls like me
too poor to show
without an invitation
she
moved just down the street
she’s got a bigger kitchen
it’s really nice
but i had to GTFO
when she said
“take the futon for the night”
alright

i can’t stop holding her hand in my head
wishing she’d held a little longer instead
of giving up on these hills
alive with sounds of music
but buried in bills
i can’t stop holding your hand in my head
my head
my head

i know i wasn’t royalty
but i still fit in
and i still was me
my mistake was believing that could change
i know i was the nobody
in your “nobody does that”
nobody’s me
my mistake was believing that could change
it could change
it could change
it could

fast smash my capacity to consent
but i still fit in
and i still was me
but being bullied out of saying “no” isn’t “yes”
with your “nobody does that”
nobody’s me
not giving up on these hills
alive with sounds of music
but buried in bills
i can’t stop holding her hand in my head
my head
my head

queen anne’s head is missing
but i still remember kissing
her mouth
