[Verse — theatrical prog] A velvet cake, a velvet kiss A shopping bag of borrowed bliss I place a paper crown on me And rule a temporary dream [Pre-Chorus] For one bright hour I'm enough No cracks to hide, no missing love [Chorus — soaring glam harmonies] Crown me king of little pleasures Golden moments without measure I spend tomorrow on tonight To feel deserving of the light I know the kingdom's made of rain But I'd be nothing without its reign (Long live the king) [Bridge — piano] I'd trade the throne for steady ground A heart that doesn't need a crown [Outro] The paper melts against my skin Tomorrow crowns me once again
