Queen of the City

Queen of the City - Joshua James

If I wrote it in your letter then it don't mean shit

I am a liar a dirty wire

You could name my body but it'll make you sick

You have a savior it's your heart of anger

But my dog ain't nothin' he ain't nothin' like my lover

Ain't nothin' like my lover at all

He will sit upon my shoulder let the dark day cover

The dark day cover me up

I've got two half dollars underneath my bed

One for my baby one for the lady

On the sixth floor found me when my mind was dead

Buy what they tell you but I'm here to save you

I heard a lady singing

“We're all bound together ”

I joined her side by saying

“To dance beneath the heavens ”

Christ your mother's hanging on my bedroom door

I'll bet she's pretty Queen of the City

If you burn all sinners I could join your corp

And sing HOLY HOLY till my day of glory

But my Lord ain't nothin' you ain't nothin' like my lover

Ain't nothin' like my lover at all

You could sit upon my shoulder let the dark day cover

The dark day cover me up
