Ballrooms Of Versailles Songtext

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 emperior's decree The clock stikes 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 Chorus 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 Chorus
