He Ate His Way to the Queen Captain White came humming Through the sugar-smoke machines With a mouth full of static And a jacket full of green Every tower blinked red twice Every siren bent the key Every screen said welcome home Every weapon disagreed They came sweet They came bright They came soft and mean Captain White kept eating Till he ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Through the guns and the gates And the gummy machines He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Love was hiding in the empire Like a glitch in the screen Turn up the resonance Turn up the room Red lights talking To the sugar moon Turn up the resonance Let it ring clean Captain White is coming Through the machine There were drones with candy eyes There were priests inside the sound There were beams that made the heartbeat Want to lay its weapons down There were songs inside the ceiling There were teeth inside the tune There were pretty little orders Blooming blue across the moon But he bit the little signal And he chewed the big machine Captain White kept eating Till he ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Through the guns and the gates And the gummy machines He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Love was hiding in the empire Like a glitch in the screen Turn up the resonance Turn up the room Red lights talking To the sugar moon Turn up the resonance Let it ring clean Captain White is coming Through the machine The throne room started pulsing Violet under red The guards forgot their orders The lasers bowed their heads She rose up from the shimmer With a crown that sang alive And Captain White stopped chewing For the first damn time Maybe it was hunger Maybe it was light Maybe every monster Needs a monster done right He bit the royal circuit He broke the candy dream And the Queen began to smile Like she knew what it means He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Through the guns and the gates And the gummy machines He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Love was hiding in the empire Like a glitch in the screen Turn up the resonance Turn up the room Red lights talking To the sugar moon Turn up the resonance Let it ring clean Captain White is coming Through the machine Now the ships don't fire Now the alarms all sing Now the moon rides shotgun With the Gummy Queen She feeds him bad machines He keeps her empire clean Two catastrophic lovers In a candy limousine Red lights on the ceiling Sweet smoke in the room Captain White is hungry And the Queen says soon He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Through the guns and the gates And the gummy machines He ate his way to the Queen He ate his way to the Queen Love was hiding in the empire Like a glitch in the screen Turn up the resonance Turn up the room Red lights talking To the sugar moon Turn up the resonance Let it ring clean Captain White is coming Through the machine
