Lyrics
The gate was open, we weren't afraid
You held your breath, I said your name
It was dark, but we saw enough extravagance
Foreign to us
Chandeliers, unfinished rooms
Whispering like ghosts under the moon
By day, anyone would describe us as
Trespassing kids, such disrespect
But the night saw more, and asked us in
We danced in smoke and diamonds
Like wartime lovers from Fitzgerald novels
And our riches bored us, and the world adored us
When I was dancing on your toes in
Mandalay
Footsteps on the stairs
I still don't know if they were real
But we were scared
You led me out
And we've never needed words to talk about
Mandalay
Come back to the bath, and let's lie down
We have always been here
We have always been here
