Ode to a City

It's an ode to a city
A song for a friend
Give me one for the lonesome
And two to forget
It's a dance for the pretty
A dream for the dead
Give me three for the lovers
How long can you hold your breath

We need some love to lose control
We need some cigarettes and alcohol
A fairytale to fall asleep
We need some fear to feel the heat
We need believe to kill a priest
We need some chemistry
Oh, how we love the chemistry

It's an ode to a city
A song for a friend
Give me one for the lonesome
And two to forget
It's a dance for the pretty
A dream for the dead
Give me three for the lovers
How long can you hold your breath

You are so scared to lose what you got
You play your cards close to your chest
To become the King of Hearts
Sweetheart, the King is dead
Set the tigers free, long live the Queen

Every heartbroken princess is a shooting star
Like thieves we run with our stolen hearts
She is beautiful and lonely like you
