Palace

Lyrics

Heroes, villains Blue faded under glass Bow tied men rip tickets to pieces Semi-naked statues full wooden ashtrays Curtained enclaves where mischief thrives Red velvet, randy Smell of corn Candy floss Usherettes with torches frolic naked in the wings Cellophane crackle Movietone Old news Lads on the front and around the empire Cigar Winston in ruins of Berlin Spitfire and anthem news from abroad Waiting for the lantern the light of the dream Giftwrapped and evergreen Picture Palace Now I close my eyes Now I close my eyes Now I close my eyes Now I close my eyes
