I have heard this song on the radio a couple times now and now I'm doing anything and everything in the world to find it. All I know is that in the chorus they mention a king and a queen. The style is pretty alternative and it is very catchy. If anyone could please, give me the title of the song if you know it or think you know it or the artist, it would be so great.. Thanks in advance.

Is it a new song? Male or female artist? Was it played on a top 40 station?

Is it Metal and Steel by Bob Schneider?

Here's the chorus:

"The king is dead and the queen has flown
Left me here in the twilight zone
Lost and lookin' for a way to get back home
There's no right and there's no wrong
And I'll be good and I'll be strong"

You're welcome...I have too much time on my hands tonight.

It's listed on our local top 40 station's site as Metal and Steel, but the lyrics site I found the lyrics on lists it as Lonelyland.
