lyrics

Sitting on her front porch
At the very top of her very own hill
Is the queen of the cul-de-sac

And every day, I drive by
I see her there, she's a vision in that fuzzy robe
And a worn-out face that says

She's the queen of ciggy hill
And no one seems to notice, but she knows them all by face
She's the queen of ciggy hill
And not one of her subjects pay mind to the way she sits there, all alone

Bathing in her glory
Looking out past the bags under her yellow eyes
She sees her kingdom

So much to be proud of
But nothing she can find to smile about
Everyone has forgotten

She's the queen of ciggy hill
And no one ever sees her, but she's memorized their plates
She's the queen of ciggy hill
And I can't help but notice, she doesn't seem so happy in that place

She'll wake up, again
This afternoon, about 3pm
And make her way outside
Breathe in the thick air and wonder why

She's the queen of ciggy hill
She longs to rule another kingdom, but she never will
She'll never get off ciggy hill
She was born into the empire

She's the queen of ciggy hill
I wonder if she knows how I feel and if she cares at all
She's the queen of ciggy hill
She'll probably never leave, she'll just drift off in scattered ashes, across the sky
