Queen Kurtis
In the Long Run
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh
I bet you've never met somebody like me before
They call me crazy when I come knocking at their door
And if I can't get in, I'll burn their house down
I'll burn their house down
He, he, he
I bet he's never met somebody as cool as me
I wonder if he realises what has just begun
And if he doesn't, I'll
I'll burn his down, I'll burn his house down

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling through the cracks now
Ain't no holding back
Got whiskey on your breath
But you're boring me to death
I've been calling out your name
While I'm standing in the flames, babe
Ignite my light and I'll play your game

[Chorus]
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
In the long run, in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run

[Verse 2]
I, I, I
I hate how you think you can lie
Think you can plot my demise
The clock is ticking by
Go on and make your move
I wanna see you lose
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Fall from grace
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Rise to fame
Now I think it's safe to say
That you're gonna save the day
That you're gonna be with me
'Cuz this is not democracy

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling through the cracks now
Ain't no holding back
Got whiskey on your breath
But you're boring me to death
I've been calling out your name
While I'm standing in the flames, babe
Ignite my light and I'll play your game

[Chorus]
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
In the long run, in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run

[Bridge]
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Fall from grace
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Fall from grace
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Fall from grace
Listen to the choir as it sings about your
Fall from grace

[Chorus]
(Na, na, na, na, na) Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
In the long run, in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
In the long run, in the long run
Oh, I promise it'll be worth it in the long run
