[Verse 1: cold, nonchalant, half-spoken over sparse jazz pulse] Crystal glasses clinking in the dark I leave a little venom where I leave my mark Reading all their secrets in their hollow eyes Smiling with their plastic teeth and paper lives They pull the string, I bow — then cut it clean The hand they dealt, I play unseen [Pre-Chorus: tension rising, saxophone swell] Gold on their fingers, dust in their veins I hold the umbrella while I'm making it rain One step, two step, stealing the show [Chorus: full cinematic drop, confident melodic power] Queen takes all, playing with the pawns I take what I want before the daylight dawns Keep your applause — I brought my own Taking the crown, burning the throne Queen takes all [Verse 2: silkier, more dangerous, building underneath] I spill a glass of wine — what a clumsy mistake Distraction is an art that takes years not to fake Every word they whisper lands exactly where I need Such a tragic little party for the privileged and bored to bleed [Pre-Chorus: tension rising, saxophone swell] Gold on their fingers, dust in their veins I hold the umbrella while I'm making it rain One step, two step, stealing the show [Chorus: full cinematic drop, confident melodic power] Queen takes all, playing with the pawns I take what I want before the daylight dawns Keep your applause — I brought my own Taking the crown, burning the throne Queen takes all [Bridge: stripped, cold spoken over single bass note, then swell] I glide through the panic A ghost in a dress I thrive in the middle Of a beautiful mess [Final Chorus: orchestral peak, full power, layered harmonies] Queen takes all, playing with the pawns I take what I want before the daylight dawns Keep your applause — I brought my own Taking the crown, burning the throne Queen takes all
