Verse 1

She was tall and wired, too wired, almost exhausting

Endless legs, a wealthy Parisian impression she was costing

She could wear a leather jacket, still look sharp, still chic

The kind of woman in the room you notice every bit

Chorus

She never learned to complain, always carried the weight

Her kingdom on the mattress, vinyl bleeding through the late

Verse 2

There was nothing in the house she didn’t know how to do

Changing tires on the shoulder, fearless straight right through

Used to fixing every problem, never asking for a hand

Always spick and span, always perfectly planned

Chorus

She never learned to complain, always carried the weight

Her kingdom on the mattress, vinyl bleeding through the late

Verse 3

When he thinks of her, she’s naked, stretched out in the bed

Crazy weekends lounging, records spinning in her head

Turntable on the floor, no reason left to rise

Cigarettes, water, phone with tangled spiral lines

Chorus

She never learned to complain, always carried the weight

Her kingdom on the mattress, vinyl bleeding through the late
