Louis XIV

Soft spoken, heartbroken
Red velvet jeans make the people scream
Louis Quatorze always sits from the hearth
Got a stable of horses, still he sleeps in the park
He's got issues with women, sisters in prison
He grows a beard for a magazine
Everyone laughs, still they're buyin' his clothes
If you're thinkin' that you saw him, it was probably a ghost

He's got it all worked out, you know
Nothing can harm us now
It's gonna catch us by surprise

Here, hello, all my children
Hello, all my friends
Don't you have somеthing to show
Don't you have some place
You wish you could go
Hеre, gather round, my children
Gather round, my friends
Don't you have some place to go
Don't you have something
You wish you could know

Atlantic, romantic
Don't make no scene at the slot machine
Louis Quatorze always starts lots of wars
But it's hard to be aggressive when you're so self-absorbed
You've got something to be scared of
Everybody stops to shake your hand
You've got something to be afraid of
Ain't nobody want to be your friend

Got it all worked out, you know
Now and forever more
It's gonna catch us by surprise

Here, hello, all my children
Hello, all my friends
Don't you have something to show
Don't you have some place
You wish you could go
Here, gather round, my children
Gather round, my friends
Don't you have some place to go
Don't you have something
You wish you could know

Walked out of the door
Couldn't believe what they saw
The city's brand new reflection
And him and her they kissed
Held each other tight
Standin' on that old, wicked balcony

Got it all worked out, you know
Now and forever more
It's gonna catch us by surprise

Here, hello, all my children
Hello, all my friends
Don't you have something to show
Don't you have some place
You wish you could go
Here, gather round, my children
Gather round, my friends
Don't you have some place to go
Don't you have something
You wish you could know
