about
"I’m not shy, I’m just mean; I’m the king of prom queens."
Classic horror film Carrie tells the story of a tormented outcast who, tricked by her classmates, is crowned prom queen and drenched in pig's blood. Pushed too far, she unleashes her infernal revenge. It's easy to imagine this tale of bullying from a queer perspective
King of Prom Queens does exactly that, with spiteful giggles and glittering lighter clicks, against a cinematic sonic landscape. This slow burn, like Carrie, builds to a blazing climax.
Karma's a bitch.
lyrics
You think I’m crying in the bathroom
Scars under my tattoos
Blood red punch
All down the front of my tux
Shoulder-checked when you walked past me
Kids can be so nasty
And I came stag
Like I'm a million bucks
Oh, yeah
Gasoline
Cinderella
Dance with me
Dance with me
I’m not shy, I’m just mean
I’m the king of prom queens
I control the whole scene
You don’t have to like me
Like, damn
You want me to be insecure bad
You want me and it’s makin you mad
Think some mister is makin me sad?
I think you misunderstand
I’m not gonna leave
I’m not here to slowdance
Revenge is my romance
Guess you didn’t know that
Gasoline
Cinderella
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
I’m not shy, I’m just mean
I’m the king of prom queens
I control the whole scene
You don’t have to
It's gonna be a good thing, a good time
We're gonna have the night of our lives
It's gonna be a good thing, a good time
We're gonna have the night of our lives
It's gonna be a good thing, a good time
We're gonna have the night of our lives
It's gonna be a good thing, a good time
We're gonna have the night of our lives
Say you're fucking sorry
Say you're fucking sorry
Say you're fucking sorry
Say you're fucking sorry
Crazy, oh, how could you tell?
Baby, you know me so well
Crazy, oh, how could you tell?
Baby, I'll see you in hell
I've been told that I'm a charmer
When I need to be
And, I do believe in karma
But the bitch is me
I've been told that I'm a charmer
When I need to be
And, I do believe in karma
But the bitch is me
