about

Queen of the Boulevard is about aging and losing control of the things you took for granted. The song is inspired by Alex’s memories of Ditmars Blvd. in Astoria, NY.

lyrics

Aren’t you the queen of the boulevard
With your blue haired stumbles your wretched mumbles
Go on and bless the pavement
Let your legs be your carriage
For these streets are far too savage
And your eyes are no good anymore

Tell me 'bout the plans that you made now
How you’re winning back your kingdom
How the years are just for fools
Tell me that the neighborhood’s saved now
Your hands just fill your pockets
Cause you're wearing all your jewels

And I watched you swagger down to the store
You replaced your dagger with a cane of course
I know you’re tired of the way things might have been
Time wrapped itself around you to forget your kin

Tell me 'bout the plans that you made now
How you’re winning back your kingdom
How the years are just for fools
Tell me that the neighborhood’s saved now
How your hands just fill your pockets
Cause you're wearing all your jewels

Tell me 'bout the plans that you made now
How you’re winning back your kingdom
How the years are just for fools
Tell me that the neighborhood’s saved now
How your hands that fill your pockets
Cause you're wearing all your jewels
You know time can be so cruel
