Lyrics:

[(spoken)
yeah, you know what?
I saw Emily this afternoon

I'm happy to say,
she looked very happy
and what she did is
she let a little control slip away

left room for something else]

She lay her whip down and thought to herself,
its been a good season
now I'll run to the wizard and
ask for the reason
my reign is over
and so to the princes I've passed
my broken rose will be thrown
and my keys made of glass

she lay her trip down like a movie
inside her head and then she
ran it once backwards
as she fell into bed
she felt it slipping away
from her once perfect grasp
like a monkey's head locket
that loosened the clasp

Chorus:
she lay her whip down x3
and for the first time in a long time
she started to fly.

she called her pirates and coachmen
who she used to send in
to the heat of the momment,
their queen to defend,
and then she laid back and watched
as a capricorn moon
fell from her blue velvet glove
like a silver balloon

chorus

she lay her whip down x3
and for the first time in a long time
she started to fly

chorus x2

and for the first tie in a long time she started to fly...
