  • Wait 'til you're announced
    We've not yet lost all our graces
    The hounds will stay in chains
    Look upon Your Greatness and She'll
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out
    Send the call out, send the call out

    Call all the ladies out
    They're in their finery
    A hundred jewels on throats
    A hundred jewels between teeth
    Now bring my boys in
    Their skin in craters like the moon
    The moon we love like a brother
    While he glows through the room

    Dancin' around the lies we tell
    Dancin' around big eyes as well, ah
    Even the comatose
    They don't dance and tell

    We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
    Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
    Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
    And you know we're on each other's team

    I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
    So there

    So all the cups got broke
    Shards beneath our feet
    But it wasn't my fault
    And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
    'Cause what this palace wants is release

    We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
    Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
    Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
    And you know we're on each other's team

    I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
    So there
    I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
    So there

    We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
    Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
    Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
    And you know we're on each other's team

    We're on each other's team
    And you know we're on each other's team
    We're on each other's team
    And you know, and you know, and you know Writer/s: Ella Marija La Yelich O'Connor, Joel Little

  • AnonymousThis song always has reminded me of the book The Red Queen. It makes me think of Mare in the first verse having to "become" a silver blood, and also The Scarlet Gaurd in the chorus and how they have to hide what they are planning. Is that only me.
