[English]

There is a map on my bedroom wall

...

with little red pins where my heart once

...

crawled.

...

Paris, London, Rome, New York.

...

All the places I have loved you before,

...

and I know it sounds dramatic,

...

but isn't love a little war?

...

I put my lipstick on like armor,

...

then I kick down every door.

...

I have cried in hotel rooms.

...

I have prayed in airport queues.

...

I have begged the moon for mercy

...

in my very best BLACK SHOES.

...

I'LL CONQUER THE WORLD

...

for you. I'll conquer the world for you.

...

If heaven won't hand it over, then

...

darling,

...

I'll break through.

...

I'll conquer the world

...

for you.

...

I'll conquer the world

...

for you.

...

And when they ask me why I did

...

it, I'll say,

...

"What else

...

could I do?"

...

There is a crown on my dressing table

...

and a knife inside my boot.

...

I was born with a starving heart and a

...

pretty good vision, too.

...

I want the bells. I want the choir.

...

I WANT MY NAME in golden letters.

...

I want the cities and the streets and

...

every house that made me feel lesser.

...

So, let the flags fall down.

...

Let the trumpets all GO QUIET.

...

YOU'LL FIND ME IN MY RED DRESS.

...

Looking holy in the riot.

...

I'll conquer the world for you.

...

I'll conquer the world for you.

...

If heaven won't hand it over,

...

then darling, I'll

...

break through.

...

I'll conquer the world

...

for you. I'll conquer the world for

...

I'll turn my grief into a kingdom. Paint

...

the palace baby blue.

...

I'll conquer the world for you.

...

For you.

...

I'll conquer the world

...

for you.

...

And when they ask me why I did it,

...

I'll say, "What else

...

could I do?"

...

>> Hey.
