Lyrics
Wait 'til you're announced
Waiting until one is formally introduced or acknowledged.
We've not yet lost all our graces
Despite challenges, not all dignity and respect have been lost.
The hounds will stay in chains
Restraints or constraints are keeping certain elements under control.
Look upon Your Greatness and She'll
Acknowledging someone's greatness, possibly a female figure.
Send the call out, send the call out
Repeatedly emphasizing the need to make a call or announcement.
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
Gathering all the women.
They're in their finery
Women are dressed in their best clothes.
A hundred jewels on throats
Adorned with many jewels around their throats.
A hundred jewels between teeth
Jewels also visible between their teeth.
Now bring my boys in
Inviting the boys to join the gathering.
Their skin in craters like the moon
Boys have skin marked like the moon's craters.
The moon we love like a brother
Expressing love for the moon, metaphorically referring to it as a brother.
While he glows through the room
-Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancing and avoiding the lies and judgments, even from those who are unconscious.
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
Describing a life in unconventional cities, a dreamlike palace, and a sense of unity.
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
Rejecting conformity and resistance to being told what to do.
So there
-So all the cups got broke
Acknowledging broken relationships and competition for love that may remain unrequited.
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
The desire for freedom or release from constraints.
We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
Reiterating the unconventional lifestyle in cities and dreams, emphasizing unity.
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
Continued resistance to conforming to expectations and reflection on aging.
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
Repeating the theme of living in unique cities and dreams, stressing unity.
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
Emphasizing unity and mutual support among people.
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
-
