Blues Traveler - Nefertiti lyrics

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 And 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 And it just makes me lonely One more goddess to retire Amazed, she puts me in my place A royal tear rolls down her face What might for me hurt worst of all Is one less soldier on the wall That much lonelier for me As I salute my fallen queen 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 And it just makes me lonely One more goddess to retire Know I should be glad for her For I can't forget her fire And it just makes me lonely One more goddess to retire Nefertiti claimed she needed no one
