Killer Queen
Mad Tsai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She had all the boys in town wrapped ′round her finger, oh
She would walk the halls and everyone would whisper and talk
'Cause all the girls in town wanted to be her
But behind those emerald eyes
She′s a devil in disguise
The prom queen has blood on her hands
So be careful when she asks you to dance
She's a motherfucking killer queen, a psychopath at 17
A beauty in a blood-stained dress
She'll fill your heart with kerosene
And light you up ′til you can′t breathe
If you cross her path you just might end up dead
There was this girl who was broken by the world
'Cause every day at school they′d push and shove her, oh
But she had a plan, one day she would get her revenge
And those cheerleaders and jocks would be six feet under
But behind those angel eyes, lies a devil in surprise
The prom queen has killed for her crown
Every boy and girl she seeks never comes back in one piece
So be careful when she tries to ask you out
She's a motherfucking killer queen, a psychopath at 17
A beauty in a blood-stained dress
She′ll fill your heart with kerosene
And light you up 'til you can′t breathe
If you break her heart you just might lose your head
She's dancing by herself
She's crowned the queen of hell
Tears will sink into her skin
She′s gonna get revenge
You′re all gonna know her name
She's the one and only, killer queen
She′s a motherfucking killer queen, she sold her soul at 17
A beautiful and broken mess
She'll fill your heart with kerosene
And light you up ′til you can't breathe
If you break her heart you just might meet your end
Mad Tsai's "Killer Queen" is a story about two girls juxtaposed against each other; the first is a popular and beautiful girl in town, who conceals her true nature as a serial killer behind her emerald eyes. The second girl is a victim of bullying in school but has an evil plan to get her revenge on the bullies. The lyrics are presented in a narrative format, taking us from the perspective of the two girls. The prom queen's beauty contrasts with the blood-stained dress she wears, indicating the violence she has committed, and the singer's angelic disguise highlights the surprise element in her sinister plan of revenge.
The song elaborately describes the prom queen's modus operandi of attracting boys and girls and ultimately killing them, making the lyrics an eerie and thrilling narrative that seeps into the listener's mind with each passing verse. The second girl's intentions are revealed in the second verse, but her motive and intentions are left open to interpretation. The chorus of "Killer Queen" is catchy and is repeated multiple times throughout the song, almost like a warning to people who might cross the path of the prom queen.

“That kid looks like ‘psychotic at 16’”
“What’s that?”
“Oh, you don’t know the story? I’ll tell you….”
“There was this boy the most handsome is the world
He had all the girls in town wrapped around his finger,
He would walk the halls, everyone would shout and talk
That’s cause everyone wanted to be him…
But behind those Diamond eyes, is a devilish surprise
The prom king has a blood stained suit.
Every single girl he dates, leaves, without disease
So be careful when he offers you a drink
He’s a (jdjdjsjjs) killer king
Psychotic at 16
A beauty with blood stained hands
“Hell” fill your lungs with gasoline, light you up till you can’t breath
You talk to him you might just end up dead”

She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake, " she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minor
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's out to get you
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

OMG!!!!! That is insane!!! Happy Birthday too!!!!! 😭 This is so awesome! I'm so happy that you're growing so well through your music!
It might not be much, but I've written a poem for you, and of you ever read it, I hope it's not too bad 😁
You've made us feel alive,
Loved and treasured gladly
Your songs feel comforting,
Like being tucked in bed dearly.
Your voice has the shine,
of an early dawn, the sun.
It is fresh, alive and awake,
And boy, have I even begun?
On the way you've made us,
Accept ourselves really.
You are a real blessing,
That comes here so rarely.
So continue spreading love,
inspire and tell us your story.
Right there in your bedroom,
Let us all live your melody.
People as good as you,
Aren't born everyday.
The king of our hearts,
Wish you the best birthday!!
