The Queen Of Hearts Lyrics - The Year Of No Returning - Ezra Furman

It's the search for a church in the bottom of your purse 

A spiritual home that you can take to the mall 

You dig and you dig but you can only find your wallet 

And your phone with a hundred missed calls 

You could never return them all 

And I watch you with your purse from the adjacent coffee table 

At the Starbucks they built inside my heart 

When your makeup starts to run I can see you're getting older 

I can see your life has been hard 

Your face is worn like an old playing card 

The Queen of Hearts 

I am working in my bedroom, I'm composing all the music 

For a film that will never by made 

It's the story of my life, a 1, 000, 000-hour epic 

About a good man who went down in flames 

Who got lost in God's multitude of names

I am searching, I am searching, I am waving my antennae 

Trying to pick up some signal through this dream 

I'm an ant in a hill, but I think and I feel 

And I'm composing these love letters to the 

Queen 

Hoping somebody will see what I mean 

The Queen of Hearts 

I always heart about God with a wink and a nod 

I guess I took it all too seriously 

But I was five years old and I took what I was told 

To mean that the sublime was in my reach 

That the ocean of the known ends at the beach 

Just up the street 

But these days people like that are considered aberrations 

And I'm being corrected as we speak 

This is my heart, it's a motor, it will search the world over 

A search engine--see what I mean 

I don't need the Internet, I don't need TV 

To find the Queen 

Photos 

So if you ever find that church that fits in your purse 

Put it into your cold metal shopping cart 

And keep on wandering the aisles on the sick fluorescent tiles 

WE'll be miles and miles apart 

I've got my own search and I'm still just at the start 

I'll be out on the highways looking for my counterpart 

The Queen of Hearts
