In Your Palace - The Cribs

In your palace

Will you catch the sceptre

On the first bounce?

No one unaffected

The faithless electors

Came unannounced

I’m out

Gonna have to run

Waiting on someone

Waiting on someone

You’ll only flower once

To become

Overwhelmed

Then you’re done

Connections got you covered

Buying back your memories

At any cost

In an IHOP bathroom

Staring at a photo

You thought was lost

Was lost

I’m gonna have to run

Waiting on someone

Waiting on someone

You’ll only flower once

To become

Overwhelmed

Then you’re done

And part of me always knew

That our time

Burned right through

While I was blind

And after all, she said

I’ll impress you

With stripes of green and red

The least I can do

And I will scrapbook thoughts

Save the clippings

As if they mean something

Again

I’m gonna have to run

Waiting on someone

Waiting on someone

You’ll only flower once

To become

Overwhelmed

Then you’re done

And part of me always knew

That our time

Burned right through

While I was blind
