Wait 'til you’re announced
We’ve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll 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 moonthe moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the roomthe room

Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
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
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you knowyou know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the airin 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
