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
