[Verse] (Male) Down the block where the streetlight bends, She stands alone, no one to defend. (Female) Eyes like shadows, corners wear her crown, Kingdom’s just this little old town. (Male) Midnight whispers in the cold night air, She sells the dreams that nobody dares. (Female) But behind that smile, worn and torn, Is a lonely queen—her heart is worn. [Pre-Chorus] (Both) And the night keeps calling, But no one’s falling, For the queen of the corner store. [Chorus] (Both) Oh, she’s a lonely queen, a faded scene, Sittin’ in the silence where the world’s been mean. Holdin’ on to pieces nobody sees, Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. [Verse] (Female) Dusty bottles, faded signs, She hides her pain behind the lines. (Male) Every coin you drop, another tale, But the night’s a ghost, and the wind's so frail. (Female) She’s been broken, lost, and found, But no one’s ever stickin’ around. (Male) Just a queen with no throne to own, Waiting for a hand to take her home. [Pre-Chorus] (Both) And the night keeps calling, But no one’s falling, For the queen of the corner store. [Chorus] (Both) Oh, she’s a lonely queen, a faded scene, Sittin’ in the silence where the world’s been mean. Holdin’ on to pieces nobody sees, Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. [Bridge] (Male) If I could reach through this cold glass pane, (Female) I’d hold her close, ease all her pain. (Male) But she’s a shadow under flicker and flame, (Both) Queen of this lonely game. [Chorus] (Both) Oh, she’s a lonely queen, a faded scene, Sittin’ in the silence where the world’s been mean. Holdin’ on to pieces nobody sees, Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. Queen of the corner store, bring her to her knees. [Outro] (Female, softly) Lonely queen, don’t fade away... (Male, fading) Hold on, queen, there’s a brighter day...
