Lyrics Greg Laswell – Royal Empress

I don’t know about the legend
But my God how we all rambled on
At how the Royal Empress spread her arms out
Arresting miserly the sun

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)
And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)
So we all walked around in the yard
We all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)

I don’t know about our edges
But God how we all talked them down
While the royal empress spread her arms out
Arresting miserly the sun

And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)
And we all thought everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)
So we all walked around in the yard
We all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
(Alive alive, alive alive)

And one of us got up way too fast
And his heart gave out just like that
And the other one, he never had a chance

I thought everyone was gonna make it out alive
And everyone was gonna make it out alive
So we all walked around in the yard

And everyone was gonna make it out
And everyone was gonna make it out
And so we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out

And one of us got up way too fast
And his heart gave out just like that
And the other one, he never had a chance

And we all walked around in the yard
And we all walked around in the yard
And everyone was gonna make it out
