I'm on a beach
And I spin round and round
While looking at the sky
It is a filthy colour grey
And I'm afraid
Because the waves are coming close enough
To sweep me off my feet
And bring me down
I'm in a crowd
But there's nobody who
Will look me in the eye
And I get on my knees and pray
'Cause I'm afraid
And when I try to speak no words
Are coming out
And I am miming like a clown
Boarded windows, shattered glass
But it sparkles in the sunlight
Welcome to my town
Welcome to my town
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
Let me show you round
Let me show you round
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
Oh, I crown myself the Queen of Sad
'Cause being regal ain't so bad
I'm in a church
And I am dazzled by
The beauty from on high
But I am planning my escape
'Cause I'm afraid
That these believers will believe in me
And in their adoration
I will drown
I'm with my love
If he's suspicious
Of my poker face
Then why does he not dig a little deeper
I'm afraid
That I've no longer got time
For all these surface conversations
Going round
Cuts and bruises, shattered heart
But I sparkle in the sunlight
Welcome to my town
Welcome to my town
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
Let me show you round
Let me show you round
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
So welcome to my coronation
It is time to greet the nation
Welcome to my coronation
It's the saddest celebration
Welcome to my town
Welcome to my town
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
Let me show you round
Let me show you round
I crown myself the Queen of Sad
Oh, I crown myself the Queen of Sad
'Cause being regal ain't so bad
