We live in cities you'll never see onscreen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

I'm kinda over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air

So there

I'm kinda older than I was when I reveled without a care

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, oh

Even the comatose

They don't dance and tell

We live in cities you'll never see onscreen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team

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 onscreen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams

And you know we're on each other's team

I'm kinda over gettin' told, I'm over gettin' told, I'm over gettin' told, I'm over gettin' told

I'm kinda over gettin' told, I'm over gettin' told, I'm over gettin' told, I'm kinda over gettin' told

We're on each other's team

We're on each other's team
