Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a harbinger of loneliness?
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
[Instrumental]
Will you forever be wandering the wall?
Looking for what you see
Your father’s face in a waterfall
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
[Chorus]
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
[Verse 2]
Who do you think I am?
A traveler on the wind?
I am a prince of men who was raised to soon be king
All I can do is fight
All I can do is wright
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon there I learned to survive
[Chorus]
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
[Instrumental]
I hope you find your way for the sake of what we’ve lost
And that there comes a day
When you realize the precious cost
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon you in your disguise
[Chorus]
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
What the hell is that?
[Instrumental]
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
Will you forever be a damsel in distress?
