Ballrooms Of Versailles Lyrics

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
