"Karaoke Queen" lyrics
August Ponthier Lyrics
"Karaoke Queen"
Signed on the line at 18, got left in the cold
Never made a sound that wasn't packaged and sold
Dropped by a major, she fell out of favor
And got on the first plane back home
Bitter and bored, getting looks at the store
Hiding her head, getting mad at the radio
Needed a drink, so she went to a hole in the wall
Once her drinks are leaving rings, they turned on the disco ball
And a biker who's 60 shoots down his whiskey to sing an old ABBA song
Now they're calling her up or they're calling her bluff
It's been a while since she's picked up the microphone
Now she's singing:
Aaaahhhhh
Karaoke queen
Aaaahhhhh
She's living out her dream
Aaaahhhhh
She's the karaoke, karaoke queen
She reaches out her hand to the woman who's singing alone
After she's done, they're screaming for just one more song
And for those couple minutes when everyone listened, all of her troubles were gone
Chanting her name with her new lick of fame, you know that she's coming back every Saturday
Now she's singing:
Aaaahhhhh
Karaoke queen
Aaaahhhhh
She's living out her dream
Aaaahhhhh
She's the karaoke, karaoke queen
Karaoke queen
Karaoke queen

The Lumineers - "BRIGHTSIDE" I can see it in the air
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette

I was stranded...

That reminds me of your face

Bonny Light Horseman - "Deep In Love" Down in the valley, the first of May
Gatherin' flowers, both fresh and gay
Gatherin' flowers, both red and blue
How little thought of what, what love could do
Don't you break my heart
Don't you...
BAILEN - "Rose Leaves" Rose leaves when the rose has gone
Fragrance when the flower dies
Oh, what tricks God plays on us
When the end seems to blind our sight
And you say you don't love me
You don't love me at all
And you...
