lyrics

lady, i was lonesome all right
the day elvis died
the kingdom overthrown by the throes of disco
i had to enlist that night

Dahl, Meier, and I
donned His gold lame like men who fight
Against enemies of nobodies with
mirrorball bombs and lights

You know you gotta believe
Pray loud enough ‘till they scream

Marching with our crimson platform shoes
Kneeling on our Velvet leather pews

took on Sugarhill
Dahl scoffed, "oh, this landfill?"
i asked if he'd been but he just grinned
and rung his decibel

bearing flags of artistry
we were screamin' like an infantry
They’re ready to shock? i'd die on this rock and
Take back our industry

You know you gotta believe
Pray loud enough ‘till they bleed

Marching with our crimson platform shoes
Kneeling on our Velvet leather pews
Running from the sirens in our tights
Dancin’ in a battlefield of lights

Marching with our crimson platform shoes
Kneeling on our Velvet leather pews
Poppers and romance
This is your last dance
