Hmm mm mm
Devil came to New York City
Dressed in black and gold
Said I'm lookin' for some souls
And hearts I can control
He said there's lots of noise up here
Never know what I can find
I'll scoop 'em up nice and easy
Before they know they're all mine
Up in the Barrio
In a club without a name
Sat a woman playin' piano
Tryin' for her shot at fame
They called her Reina Queenie
Her sound could make you feel
Yeah her hands were far from perfect
But her story it was real
Devil said here's a challenge
Let's see how good you are
She said I ain't chasin' glitter
Don't need to be a star
Devil said how bout a gold piano
If you can prove you're best
But if you lose I get your soul
You gotta pass the test
Queenie take that bench now
Let's see what you can prove
Play your truth against my power
Let the people choose
If you win you get this gorgeous keyboard
Made of gold
And if you lose
You know I get your soul
Devil slid up to the keys
His hands began to twitch
Ivory lit like fire
Perfect music perfect pitch
His eyes were hard and hollow
There was nothing that felt real
The room went still
They felt the chill
He thought he sealed the deal
When the devil finished Queenie said
That was perfect
But it's a shame
Cause when I finish playing
The whole world will know my name
She played
Taxi in the tunnel rhythm of the rain
Heartbeat thunder like a downtown train
Breakin' the silence
Crackin' that mold
Playing this song like I'm saving my soul
Fire in the subway flames in the street
Rhythm is truth feel it in your feet
