Royals

(album: Another Bundle Of Tantrums - 2014)

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, tripping in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
Everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals.
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen Bee
Baby I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy.

My friends and I we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, tripping in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
Everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals.
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen Bee
Baby I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
Everything we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals.
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen Bee
Baby I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh oh
Let me live that fantasy.
