As every age of empire
Sees a sun that never sets
So too the underground will thrive at night
The scavengers and miscreants

So I found myself a pirate
In the county of the Queen
I take what I can when I can get it
Though nothing's what it seems

As I wind these mangrove backstreets
On the nights when I may roam
I think of you and the life I'd give you
If I had anything at all

So I'll board up all the windows
Cuz there's a blackout on the way
There's a fog outside
So we don't leave Queens tonight

Now, I don't know how I went to shambles
And I don't know if you get my letters
And this island life's so fucking stressful
That it seems I've lost all my direction

The last thing I remember
I was at a pub in Woodside
In a cloud of skull and bones
Who tell me everything's alright (Alright!)

As I wound these mangrove backstreets
Trying to find my way back home
I thought of you, so far away
Just like my lonely bungalow

Where we board up all the windows
Cuz there's a blackout on the way
There's a fog outside
So we don't leave Queens tonight

I came-to via satellite at some power plant
Unsure of what the circumstance could be
That led me here
But intoxicants seem certain

Like Washington fled Brooklyn
I was found East River bound
When the law caught up I was so fucked up
They just took me to my house

Where we board up all the windows
Cuz there's a blackout on the way
There's a fog outside
So we don't leave Queens tonight (Hell no)
There's a fog outside
So we don't leave Queens tonight
