[Verse 1]
It was summer when I saw your face
Looked like a teenage runaway
Oh god I never thought we'd take it that far
Some killer queen you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm running and I can't stop anywhere I go
I think about it everyday and night I can't let go
Man, I'm never the same
We were shot gun lovers, I'm a shot gun running away

[Chorus]
So come a little closer
There was something I can tell yeah
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

[Verse 2]
We took the bones out from the road
Those endless nights that we traveled we stole
You let your clothes fall to the floor
And lit a fire while I waited for more

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
Now I'm running and I won't stop I don't wanna go
I think about it everyday and night I can't let go
And hey, I'm never the same
It's a hundred miles an hour on a dirt road running away

[Chorus]
So come a little closer
There was something I can tell yeah
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

[Bridge]
Come a little closer
Why don't you come a little closer?
Why don't you come a little closer?

[Chorus] [2x]
There was something I can tell yeah
It was such a rollercoaster
And a killer queen you are

Rollercoaster, I don't say no
Rollercoaster, when you don't say no
And it's such a rollercoaster
Some killer queen you are

The so-called “80s-nostalgia” indie pop artist Bleachers infuses modern electronica with stylistic elements of the 80s. Headed by Jack Antonoff of Steel Train and Fun. fame, the band’s music is deeply personal, emotive, and lyrically evocative.

Their debut album Strange Desire was released July 10th, 2014, and was mostly written by Antonoff throughout his tour with fun. A very visceral, realized album that addresses death, memory, self-image, and spontaneity, among other themes, Desire showed the world the great potential Bleachers has to become the next pop act to become a household name.

After an EP featuring new versions of Like A River Runs and an album of Desire’s songs covered by female artists in the same vein of the final Steel Train album, the group returned with Gone Now. It featured many of the same themes as the first album.
