The Gentleman - Balcony Lyrics

Among the first I got there
I had a front row seat
We built an empire
Above dust, crying and clouds

In the farthest unconquered land
You made room for me
With a piano and holy books
With a window to the heavenly garden

You gave me to drink first
Built me a bed with four sides of world
Everything I sell
For golden powder of demolition
Watching fire from balcony

In the morning you washed my hair
Brought my deck chair on the porch
On a silver platter
You got me heads of those
Who do not know how to sing
And then rested between my legs

Exiled my brother, exiled your brother
You brought water, light and roads
I watched empire grows
I shivered at the thought of loss
I wanted to watch the fire

You gave me to drink first
Build me a bed with four sides of world
Everything I sell
For golden powder of demolition
Watching fire from balcony

Among the first I got there
I had a front row seat
We built an empire
Above dust, crying and clouds

In the farthest unconquered land
You made room for me
With a piano and holy books
With a window to the heavenly garden

You gave me to drink first
Built me a bed with four sides of world
Everything I sell
For golden powder of demolition
Watching fire from balcony

In the morning you washed my hair
Brought my deck chair on the porch
On a silver platter
You got me heads of those
Who do not know how to sing
And then rested between my legs

Exiled my brother, exiled your brother
You brought water, light and roads
I watched empire grows
I shivered at the thought of loss
I wanted to watch the fire

You gave me to drink first
Build me a bed with four sides of world
Everything I sell
For golden powder of demolition
Watching fire from balcony
