The Empress
Once upon a time, lived an unassuming girl,
Pigtails in her hair knot, not a care in this world.
But the years aren’t kind, sometimes we have to feel alone.
Then one day you wake up and decide you’re tired of this bulls*** life,
And you’re a badass bitch on a mission!
So when you see me don’t feel alarmed,
I roll with five pimp armed bodyguards.
The Empress will see you now.
Knock, suck it in, now take a bow.
When you’ve got nothing to lose, your mind plays tricks on you.
You best dress to impress,
The Empress….

Come to Mama
Welcome to my world, won’t you come on in?
My people will adore you, my people will adore you.
When it comes to love my sheets are lined with gold,
And I’m not afraid to use, my powers have improved,
I have ruled the world, now I wanna rule you…
‘Heavens above, never did I think I could feel so much love’,
Let me be your Queen, life will be a dream.
Come on baby don’t be shy!
Come to Ma, Come to Mama, Come to Ma, Come to Mama…
No such thing as female power, we call it brash menstrual shrouded anger,
Poor boy does it make you feel so small?
I’m no consort it’s my choice to use my love to use my voice, to hypnotise.
Command, demand, don’t lose,
Rule them all, now it’s time to rule you…
‘Heavens above, I’ve been falling deep now lost in her love’,
Let me be your Queen, Life will be a dream.
Come on baby don’t be shy!
Come on baby don’t be shy. Come to Mama…

Lady Cherry
Welcome Lady Cherry, here to talk all the philosophy of life.
Think of a honey bee, you won’t believe,
It’s truly something special, sent from above,
Fill a cup of love, such a piece of magic won’t be forgotten easily,
Come have a taste and see…
Lady Cherry!
More than a moon ago, Lady Cherry played roulette with her soul.
She and the Devil, sat at that table,
Lust was the dealer, fixed from the start,
Pulled the Queen of Hearts,
‘Fie this voodoo magic if I die then you will all be cursed!’ -
Cried Satan as he tasted her medicine,
Victory… (for)
Lady Cherry!
Soft, sweet, velvet skin,
Lady C invites you in,
She’ll take you to a parallel world unknown,
Get lost in her symphony…
Lady Cherry!

Benzo Belle
*Ooh, nice day!*
I can be anything for you baby, I can bake lots of cake with a smile.
We can make 40 babies, any way you want us to.
Let me put my best frock on,
Let me fix my lipstick.
Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum shell.
Oh well…
I can be anything for you baby, I can lie legs out wide with a smile.
Tell me your fantasy, mine doesn’t matter baby, this is all about you.
‘Cause what would I be, I’d die, my world stops —- without you.
Wait first let me pop a pill,
Insert without feeling.
Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum shell…
I hate you.
Well, if I felt anything I’m sure that I’d hate you,
I’d squash you.
Payback for all of the squashing and all of the rolling,
And grunting and huffing and puffing,
And gnawing and scratching and boredom,
And all of your games, I don’t find them funny,
And words all those mean words,
And lies all those sweet little lies,
And looks those looks of hate,
Oh this is tiring let’s go back to sleep…
I can be anything for you baby.
Robot lover, Benzo Belle, lacklustre, lifeless, vacuum.
Oh well….

Ode to Genevieve
It sucks you feel you’ve got to hide,
Scared of what those people say.
You’ve been running all your life,
They’re not on your side, they’re not your mates,
People can be so full of hate.
Don’t listen to their lies, you’re perfect in my eyes…
Genevieve you’re my Queen!
I watch your body hit the ground,
You need some practice running in heels!
Don’t let those losers drag you down,
You got so much spunk in you,
F*** those small minded brutes!
And you are not a joke, not just some bloke in a wig,
You’re a beautiful human being and yes you have the choice,
Listen to my voice!
Genevieve you’re my Queen!

Dear Sabotage
Five children and working 9-to-5 and 5-to-9,
Who? Who will save me from losing my own mind?
Big dreams of paradise beach all the time,
Just to escape the boredom of my own petty life.
Every day at roughly quarter past three,
I whisper a little prayer meant only for me. It goes...
“Dear Sabotage - you know how to get to my heart, you see right through.
Dear Sabotage - you were my best friend from the start. I need you!"
I like to play bingo and the national lottery,
Born to be a winner! Now there's nothing winning ‘bout me.
My dear five children, they want to roam wild and free,
So free that I lose them to flaws of society.
Every night at roughly quarter to ten,
I write a letter that I’ll never send. It goes...
“Dear Sabotage - you know how to get to my heart, you see right through.
Dear Sabotage - you were my best friend from the start. I need you!"
And PS you need me too.
And PS you love me too.

S.S. Lizzie
Four walls, four years, I am dying, I am old.
I once had it all, untold fame and fortune, but how the mighty fall.
So they found pieces of bones, deep in the walls of my home,
Nádasdy’s nasty mind left them behind.
Please be kind.
I need their beauty. I need their beauty!
Blood Bath Báthory. I plead sheer vanity. Virgin girls so youthful.
Please don’t hate me, Sweet Sick Lizzie…
You can’t catch me, ‘cause my family tree will protect me,
I bathe in blood to keep me youthful.
I often dream of being four years old, home at Ecsed Castle, perfect little girl.
Aged ten I was betrothed, had four children of my own, oh how the people loved ‘The Lizzie Show’.
When you’re young and hate is all you know, incapable to show love without blood,
And though you know it’s wrong, you can’t say no.
Nice and slow, make them moan, feel the control.
I need their desperation. I need their clawing!
Blood Bath Báthory. I plead sheer vanity. Virgin girls so youthful –
Please wait here, oh what a dear!
Never have I seen a sweeter peasant girl.
(So pretty and so – YOUNG…)
Please don’t fear, we’ll take such good care.
Bring her to my castle and I’ll show her the world,
Please sign on the dotted line….
Give us your daughter and we’ll take your wife.
Haven’t I been a good Queen?
The ultimate sacrifice, do it for your country,
Do it for your Queen…
Sweet Sick Lizzie.
You can’t catch me, ‘cause my family tree will protect me,
I bathe in your blood to keep me youthful!

Sick Like Me
We know these rhythms but we can’t dance, can’t move to the beat.
So we just flow like rivers, to our own groove,
Our own trance!
Oh, where in the world do we go from here?
Oh, lost in a pipe-dream beauty queen.
Used to be a healthy mind, but now I’m sick, now I’m blind,
Oh, sick from this world and its health disease, sick from my teacher’s gifts to me,
Stick to me and get Sick Like Me!
Stick to me and get sick…
Sick for my likes on Instagram, care more for my fans than my own family,
I’ll get a job, not a real job a butt job, then I’ll be famous *and everyone will love me*!
Sick for the sycophants obsessed with my life, they are there for me every day every night,
So many friends when I switch on my iPhone, but so alone when I turn out the light (ssh…)
Oh, where in the world do we go from here?
Oh, lost in a bombshell movie scene.
Used to be a healthy child, but now I’m sick, now I’m wild,
Oh, sick from the news and digital screams, sick from my doctor’s shots and screens,
I am sick please call the police, I am sick from the siren’s echo and bleed,
Stick to me and get Sick Like Me!
Pay a small fee get Sick Like Me,
Try it for free get Sick Like Me,
Give up on your dreams get Sick Like Me,
Throw it all away get Sick Like Me…
We know these rhythms but we can’t dance, can’t move to the beat.
So we just flow like rivers….

CAKE
Will you dance with me through the glass?… (1-2-3-4)
Mmm I’m sexy and don’t I know it,
Oh yeah and I’m totes the Queen.
But lately I’ve been feeling so guilty,
My people suffer incredibly, apparently,
It’s deeply saddening me.
Qu’ils mangent de la brioche,
I’ll be the martyr the hero the lot!
Let them eat cake, let ‘em go out in style.
A little sugar to ease the pain and if it’s true what the people say,
They’re gonna die anyway,
I’m not the kind of girl who would let my man down.
Let them eat cake, Let them eat cake!
I don’t know why you choose to despise me,
It’s really quite unfair, I’m not the enemy.
I did not ask to be blessed with such brains and beauty and the perfect life,
Sorry # not sorry!
Qu’on vive comme les enfants du paradis,
Woah, how the people will f***ing adore me! So…
Let them eat cake, let ‘em go out in style.
A little sugar to ease the pain and if it’s true what the people say,
They’re gonna die anyway,
I’m not the kind of girl who would let my man down.
Let them eat cake, Let them eat cake!
