lyrics

Well, it seems that I'm at it again
I've poisoned myself and now it all depends
On exactly how much I've had to drink
Or if I'll ever be a star before I lose my glow

So I paid the toll and join the conformed
And inquired everyone why they're so far below
'Cause it all makes sense looking through the lens
You can see the stars
And the world for what it truly is.

There are many pieces to this portrait
And I seem to have left mine back at the hotel

So I'll...

Just pack my bags and go
There's no need to call
I'm sure I'll find my way

Fall in love with an English bird
We'll map out all the stars
And head around on a holiday
But we won't come back

Pouring over old photographs
You dream of a life you've never had

You drift across the windowsill
Ghost of Versailles, you're alright.

Soon your day will come
Even now, you're the setting sun
On a sky we have already won

Darling, won't you take these last few words?
They might sink in
