Lyrics
[Intro] The Queen is dead The King of Queen The Queen is gone The Killer Queen And though he's gone, he cannot be forgotten [Verse 1] He started out a big dream kid His friends did not see things the way he did Then one day he said goodbye The time had come to reach for the sky [Chorus] The Queen is dead The King of Queen The Queen is gone The Killer Queen [Verse 2] Before he knew it, he became a superstar The world stood up every time he took charge The words rang out: "We Will Rock You" The Champions of the World through and through [Chorus] The Queen is dead The King of Queen The Queen is gone The Killer Queen And though he's gone, he cannot be forgotten [Break] Against the odds of mainstream sexuality His voice was heard for peace and decency He was larger than life in the land of royalty He lived for the show and all its pageantry He carried a deep, dark secret for nearly seven years A deadly disease ignored for homophobic fears Not even his feline friends could suspect this demise To a legendary hero with proportionate style And though he's gone, he cannot be forgotten [Verse 3] Without their king, they go on right in stride Make no attempt to replace, don't even try Contribute to the world the popularity To propagate a cure for society [Chorus] The Queen's not dead The Queen's alive In heart and song The show must go on Though his body's gone, his spirit still lives on
