Lyrics
She’s all alone on her forbidden throne in his lair
All of it’s new, though she’s fresher than dew now she’s grown
Chorus:
She isn’t queen when she’s under the sun
She only rules way down here
What they don’t know is she’s running the show
And she’s home
There’s no one around to say she isn’t good enough now
It’s all up to her and she’s hell bent to prove she knows how
(chorus)
Given the chance she might join in the dance of the night
She’s planted a seed and she has no more need to go back (to the light)
(chorus)
We’re all in the dark
When the lamp doesn’t spark
Now she’s muddling through
Alone late at night she admits that she might have been wrong
How’s she go back to the innocent life she had known.
(chorus)
…and she’s home
