Lyrics


All he wanted was a part of him to feel selected
So many pieces that he counted out and he collected
Might her majesty find a cowboy for this crown
Living at infinity like a rodeo that’s spinnin’ round

There were figures who were glimmering in their reflection
A gracious moon had given them a point of intersection
Might her majesty find a cowboy for this crown
Living at infinity like a rodeo that’s spinnin’ round

Just yesterday they met the rest of their lives
And held a banquet for the queen
She said, “I’m feeling quite cantankerous”
And the cowboy said, “I know just what you need”

All he wanted was a part of her to feel selected
So many pieces that she counted out and she contested
Might his majesty find a cowgirl for this crown
Living at infinity like a rodeo that’s spinnin’ round

Build us a song, build us a song to hold the sound
Build us a song, build us a song to hold the sound
