Lyrics

Palace in the Sky

Let's play 'Return to Sender'
The pages isn't safety render for now
Guess you thought was ghost anyhow
Hadn't the host been listening?
Facing your forehead glistening with sweat
But the speech wasn't near over yeat
With the spit as it sprayed from your lips

And the stars align
But the world's aflame
Your palace in the sky
Is burning blue tonight
Your palace in the sky

Promise to steal the fortune
Love is a cruel extortion of life
What the hell might as well get away
Pleading to have your grey cut
Work on a have your say but you will
And you'll stay soaking wet for the kill
And no pay where you lay, when you fell

And the stars align
But the world's aflame
Your palace in the sky
Is burning blue tonight
Your palace in the sky
Is burning through the night
Your palace in the sky

And the stars align
But the world's aflame
Your palace in the sky
Is burning blue tonight
Your palace in the sky
Is burning through the night
Your palace in the sky
