Greg Laswell – Royal Empress lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know about the legend
But my god how we all rambled on
At how the royal empress spread her arms out
Arresting miserly the sun

[Chorus]
And we all thought everyone was going to make it out
And we all thought everyone was going to make it out
And so we all walked around in the yard
We all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out

[Verse 2]
I don’t know about our edges
But my god how we all talked them down
While the royal empress spread her arms out
Arresting miserly the sun

[Chorus]
And we all thought everyone was going to make it out
And we all thought everyone was going to make it out
And so we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
And one of us got up way too fast
And his heart gave out just like that
And the other one, he never had a chance

[Bridge]
I thought everyone was going to make it out alive
And everyone was going to make it out alive
So we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out alive

[Chorus]
And everyone was gonna make it out
And everyone was gonna make it out
And so we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
And one of us got up way too fast
And his heart gave out just like that
And the other one, he never had a chance
And we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
