lyrics

I'm aware of the fact
The fact that I have moments
These moments I've collected
Collected for you

As I stand on this stage
In attempt not to fade
Any fan-fearing favor from thee

Lullaby I will sing to thee
Tall tales warmed with mysteries
An angel will come to set you free
Into the bluest blue
Cause it was all for you tonight!

As you know
there's a lot of people scared to make a sound that's not for everyone
And by the way are you everyone?

Old women Claire she had the rosiest cheeks
She loved all her fans
But she was pushed off the stage in a jealous rage
Where she soon met her end
But she was laughing all the way down
For she remembered the way she had with this town

Sergio with his face so bold
He didn't mind much or do what he was told
Two dames to each arm with his chin in the air
He didn't mind much when he flew the air

They're as tight as they come but as loose as they go
When they saw deaths face they knew to let go
And all the times we feel the strangers with the coldest of souls
Remember that they are those that are laughing

No frowns
For they remember the day
The day that we gave them their crown
Their crown

Late at night when we've all gone home
They leave a chair and chrome microphone
And a light for those who roam these halls
When the vendors leave they lock the door
and swear by the distant song
A roaring song
