The Temperance Movement - Hometown Kings & Queens Lyrics

The Temperance Movement Lyrics

"Hometown Kings & Queens"

Words of love ever seek me out
Never sell me out
To the lonely ghost in my machine
Sleeping silently
All the lonely souls in the magazines
Clinging desperately
To a fading light on a fading screen
Flickering and still

Haunting houses in my scheme
All my hometown kings and queens

I couldn't help myself
I forgive myself
For sucking life itself
From your cherry lips
And my choice was made
I choose love again

Words of love got my back
Never sell me out
From the crooked roots of my innocence
All Stars in the rain
Second city I owe you my soul
Sweet as lemonade sharp as razor blades
You never let me go

Haunted houses in my scheme
All my hometown kings and queens
Haunted houses in my scheme
All my hometown kings and queens

And I couldn't help myself
I forgive myself
For sucking life itself
From your cherry lips
And my choice was made
I choose love again
