Play My Darling, Play Songtext
von Katzenjammer

A messenger arrived
Through a sunlit open door
Passed the dangers of the world
To his troubled queen so bored

With a voice full of worry
And a frightened fighter′s face
Another day's morning
In life′s busy race

He looked into her eyes before he spoke
He said

Play, my darling, play
Don't you put yourself on the throne no more
Play, my darling, play
There's a world outside your broken border

Play, my darling, play
Don′t you put your key in another door
Play, my darling, play
With a world outside your broken border


She′s a lonely young girl
She's the sister of the moon
Her heart is like November
Though she wants it to be June

Oh, larger than life
She′s standing there so tall
There's a note with her name
And it′s hanging on the wall

Her eyes, they opened wide when she read
And he said

Play, my darling, play
Don't you put yourself on the throne no more
Play, my darling, play
There′s a world outside your broken border

Play, my darling, play
Don't you put your key in another door
Play, my darling, play
With a world outside your broken borders

Play, my darling, play

She's stuck there on her Island so marooned
The limelight′s got her blinded and harpooned
She said


Play, my darling, play
Don′t you put yourself on the throne no more
Play, my darling, play
There's a world outside your broken border

Play, my darling, play
Don′t you put your key in another door
Play, my darling, play
With a world outside your broken borders
