Name: QUEEN OF THE UNDERLIFE
Duration: P00H04M28S
Description: A song I had high hopes for when writing for Talamasca's second album. The words were inspired by Salem, a beautiful girl in the Montreal goth scene; We were sitting at a restaurant shooting the shit and I wrote what Salem was babbling about...

lyrics

QUEEN OF THE UNDERLIFE
@ Chriss Lee 1996

Kaliana, Kaliana

Salem’s a profane brew
It’s a generation thing to endorse pain
Guys are stupid, breeders, I’m pissed off
And I want to make them suffer

She wants to see the sun today
She wants to see the sun today
She wants to see the sun today
But she can only bear the night

Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underground

Kraft dinner with tomato juice and olives
Accidents happen and I don’t even have
Compassion anymore; rumor has it I’m a witch
Satan’s daughter and I cast spells

She wants to see the sun today
She wants to see the sun today
She wants to see the sun today
But she can only bear the night

Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underground

Bridge

Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the underlife, Queen of the underground
Queen of the under
