[00:00.00]The Queen of Hearts - Ezra Furman
[00:01.73]Lyrics by:Ezra Furman
[00:03.47]Composed by:Ezra Furman
[00:05.21]It's the search for a church in the bottom of your purse
[00:10.09]A spiritual home you can take to the mall
[00:14.58]You dig and you dig but you can only find your wallet
[00:19.16]And your phone with a hundred missed calls
[00:23.69]You could never return them all
[00:33.39]And I watch you with your purse from the adjacent coffee table
[00:37.92]At the starbucks they built inside my heart
[00:42.76]And your make up starts to run you can see you're getting older
[00:47.43]You can see your life has been hard
[00:51.77]Your face is worn like an old playing card
[00:56.43]The queen of hearts
[01:01.24]The queen of hearts
[01:15.66]I am working in my bedroom I'm composing all the music
[01:20.43]For a film that will never be made
[01:24.89]It's the story of my life a one million hour epic
[01:29.69]About a good man who went down in flames
[01:34.35]Who got lost in God's multitude of names
[01:43.98]I am searching I am searching I am waving my antenna
[01:48.50]Trying to pick up some signal through this dream
[01:53.23]I'm an ant in a hill but I think and I feel
[01:57.71]And I'm composing these love letters to the queen
[02:02.42]Hoping somebody will see what I mean
[02:07.00]The queen of hearts
[02:11.59]The queen of hearts
[02:17.07]The queen of hearts
[02:35.33]I always heard about God with a wink and a nod
[02:40.05]I guess I took it all too seriously
[02:44.95]But I was five years old and
[02:47.21]I took what I was told
[02:49.74]To mean that the sublime was in my reach
[02:54.26]That the ocean of the known ends at the beach
[02:58.63]Just up the street
[03:03.99]These days people like that are considered aberrations
[03:08.62]And I'm being corrected as we speak
[03:12.90]This is my heart it's a motor
[03:15.58]It will search the world over
[03:18.10]I'm a search engine see what I mean
[03:22.46]I don't need the internet I don't need TV
[03:27.05]To find the queen
[03:31.79]The queen of hearts
[03:36.94]The queen
[03:45.86]So if you ever find that church that fits in your purse
[03:51.08]Put it into your cold metal shopping cart
[03:55.24]And keep on wandering the aisles on the sick fluorescent tiles
[04:00.32]We'll be miles and miles apart
[04:04.60]I've got my own search I'm still just at the start
[04:09.41]I'll be out on the highways looking for my counterpart
[04:14.84]The queen of hearts
