lyrics

I once had a God
he made up a queen
he called out her name
he called out charlene
and as Charlene he said
thus awoke the dead
And as Charlene he said
Awoke from my slumber once again

I was a bit young then
younger than I ever been
she walked away
I was unsure that I'd see her again
her presence was radiant
her essence well aged
she was easiy accoustmed
past the end of days

If you ever met her
you'd know what i meant
if i describe a punk rock godess
in a fair wheather dress
When the vibrant wonders
of a subtle caress
cross the mind
intoxicate the head

Shakespear does love her
yet the angels do frown
in a vain contempt
for she's stolen their crown
so they rallied up their thunder
aimed for her head
Missed by a mile
struck me instead

Charlene, she's a queen
so I'm told and so it seems
It occurse to me
she's the queen of everyone i met
and everything
charlene you're a queen
so i'm told and so it seems
Charlene you're a queen
queen of everyone I met
and everything

Caught up in something you cannot have
thirst is a knife stabbing you in the back
you speak but no one seems to understand
no oasis present in this desert land
time is a virgin then she suddenly breaks
takes the pass, ceases to progress
No longer breathing,
no longer seeing
no right words
no longer dreaming
I was a child she was a maid
lost in a thought i was amazed
spoke to soon she said "well played"
still to this day
how i wish she'd stayed
I walked away
yet how i wish she'd stayed

Some say love songs where never meant to be finished
by the time i started this one it was already written
and everything's desolate nothing has changed
I still got my ego and a sense of pain

Still remember when she was last in my grasp
but everything is transient and nothing does last
If you ever get caught up in what coulda been
remember theres a many good reasons why it aint happenin'.
