Nefertiti Lyrics - Blues Traveler

Nefertiti claimed she needed no one at all 

Majestic in her empire like so many I've seen rise and fall 

Suitors by the dozen, even one who'd give her everything 

Assuming the queen even needs a king 

And what's so wrong with freedom? Is there a cost too high? 

But the slogans turn to mist in Nefertiti's eyes 

And the heart of the lioness lay down gentle like a lamb 

Her Majesty runs like a girl, no composure or command 

And I know I should be glad for her but I can't forget her fire 

It just makes me lonely, one more Goddess to retire 

Now I have been brought down by less 

That felled my mighty lioness 

But what I see which makes me sad 

Is when the loneliness gets bad 

She has to run, she cannot take 

That fragile fundamental ache 

And the heart of the lioness lay down gentle like a lamb 

Her Majesty runs like a girl, no composure or command 

And I know I should be glad for her but I can't forget her fire 

It just makes me lonely, one more Goddess to retire 

Amazed she puts me in my place 

A royal tear rolls down her face 

But what for me may hurt worst of all 

Is one less soldier on the wall 

That much lonelier for me 

As I salute my fallen queen 

When the heart of the lioness, lay down gentle like a lamb 

Her Majesty runs like a girl, no composure or command 

And I know I should be glad for her but I can't forget her fire 

It just makes me lonely, one more Goddess to retire 

No one should be glad for her for I can't forget her fire 

It just makes me lonely, one more Goddess to retire 

Nefertiti claimed she needed no one
