Street Queen's Game

A shadow moves beneath the streetlight,

Casting dreams in faded night,

She’s a queen in the alley,

With a heartless smile, so bright.

She walks in the neon glow,

Whispers sweet like summer night,

Takes your hand, you’re feeling bold,

But watch the games, they turn to frights.

Like a moth to a flame, you dance her tune,

With every laugh, she binds you soon.

Empty promises in stolen air,

Cigarette ashes, without a care,

Chasing shadows, you can’t deny,

In her web, you’re just a fly.

She’ll use you up, leave you cold,

A heart of ice, a spirit bold,

Steal your dreams, then fade away,

In the night, she’ll find her prey.

Broke, busted, alone in the dark,

Just another lonely heart left stark.

Come dawn, she'll disappear,

With a smile that haunts your soul,

Waiting for her next affair,

While you pay the price, pay the toll.

Another mark, just another game,

You thought it love, but it's all the same.

Her words like poison, sweet but cruel,

You’re a player in her game,

Just a fool.

Hope for love, but it's all lost,

And all it's brought you is pain and cost.

She’ll use you up, leave you cold,

A heart of ice, a spirit bold,

Steal your dreams, then fade away,

In the night, she’ll find her prey.

Broke, busted, alone in the dark,

Just another lonely heart left stark.

Round and round, the cycle spins,

You know she'll burn you, then begin,

With another love, another game,

While you’re left here, just a name.

So heed my warning, take your time,

In the street life, there’s no love divine,

As shadows fade with dawn’s soft glow,

Don’t chase the fire, let her go.
