Team Lyrics
Lorde
[Intro]
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and she'll send the call out
The call out send (etc.)
[Verse 1]
Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well, oh...
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell
[Chorus]
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty but we sure know how to run free
Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
[Post-Chorus]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
[Verse 2]
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kinda older than I was when I rebelled without a care
So there
[Chorus]
[Outro]
We're on each other's team
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know and you know and you know
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and she'll send the call out
The call out send (etc.)
[Verse 1]
Call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well, oh...
Even the comatose, they don't dance and tell
[Chorus]
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty but we sure know how to run free
Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team
[Post-Chorus]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
[Verse 2]
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasn't my fault
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I'm kinda older than I was when I rebelled without a care
So there
[Chorus]
[Outro]
We're on each other's team
And you know we're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
We're on each other's team
And you know and you know and you know
