Ballrooms of Versailles

Lyrics

The ballrooms of Versailles Like dragons riding high We dance the nights away Life is glam and gay Fountains cry tokai At ballrooms of Versailles The gardens where we play The queen has gone astray Salute Czar Nicolai The night the party died At ballrooms of Versailles Hail Knight in shining armor The emperor's decree The clock strikes midnight hour Arrive from gay Paris A world of games and duels And secret go-betweens Throw marks or pounds or rubels Pay life to share the scene The ballrooms of Versailles Like dragons riding high We dance the nights away Life is glam and gay Fountains cry tokai At ballrooms of Versailles The gardens where we play The queen has gone astray Salute Czar Nicolai The night the party died At ballrooms of Versailles A court of fallen angels Below the guillotine Betrayed by nightly rangers Doomed unforgiven sin The struggle of the classes The birth of bourgeoisie Beheaded by the masses By God that queen was me The ballrooms of Versailles Like dragons riding high We dance the nights away Life is glam and gay Fountains cry tokai At ballrooms of Versailles The gardens where we play The queen has gone astray Salute Czar Nicolai The night the party died At ballrooms of Versailles Ballrooms of Versailles Ballrooms of Versailles Ballrooms of Versailles
