Lyrics
MANGA QUEEN by Richard C. (Kluso) Tollini © 2004
(1st Verse)
I say you on the train last night and you stared right back with an empty gaze
it was a cold and windy November night, still a bead of sweat rolled down your cleavage
(PreChorus)
Now are you gonna, gonna, gonna, make me wait another night
An’ just how much will I have to take well that ain’t right
(Chorus)
Ma-ma-ma-my manga queen you know what I mean
Yeah …..You’re my fantasy I’ll put you in my dreams
Ma –ma –ma my manga queen You’re not re- al-ity
You’re my fantasy Ma –ma –ma my manga queen
(2nd Verse)
Now who was it that put you up to this ahh.. they must be so cruel
You know I’d really like to give you a kiss, but then I’d look like such a fool
But now I see you live a two dimensional life oohh that must be such a pain
And you know I’d really like to make you my wife, but I don’wanna live on a train
(PreChorus)
Now are you gonna, gonna, gonna, make me wait another night
An’ just how much will I have to take well that ain’t right
(Chorus)
Ma-ma-ma-my manga queen you know what I mean
Yeah …..You’re my fantasy I’ll put you in my dreams
Ma –ma –ma my manga queen You’re not re- al-ity
You’re my fantasy Ma –ma –ma my manga queen
(Bridge)
Livin Lovin Leavin’ Ohh I gotta find a way
Breathin’ Sleepin’ Thinkin’!! about you every day
(Interlude / Lead Break)
(3d Verse)
So I guess I’ll go home to my family my day is done
But I know I’ll see you in my dreams then we can have a little fun -Hahhhh!
(Chorus)
Ma-ma-ma-my manga queen you know what I mean
Yeah …..You’re my fantasy I’ll put you in my dreams
Ma –ma –ma my manga queen You’re not re- al-ity
You’re my fantasy Yeah you know what I mean
Ma –ma –ma my manga queen
(Outtro) – whooo hooo whoo hooo
