[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well, (oh)
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell

[Chorus]
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
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 (team) (team) (team)
We're on each other's team (team)
And you know, we're on each other's team (team) (team) (team)
We're on each other's team (team)
And you know, we're on each other's team

[Post-Chorus]
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
So there
[Verse 2]
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release

[Chorus]
We live in cities you'll never see onscreen
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 (team) (team) (team)
We're on each other's team (team)
And you know, we're on each other's team (team) (team) (team)
We're on each other's team (team)
And you know, we're on each other's team
