The Grand Ballroom - The Master & Margarita (A Scandal) Lyrics

I remember when you lost control
Between the stars
Wearing your skin so proudly
Like a battle scar

I counted every single pearl
You raised from the seabed
And rearranged every single
Hair upon your head

The critics raved on and on
We were darlings of an era
The crowd went wild in my mind
And you in my camera

It's a room, that's all it was
But hey it's bigger than life
And the earth it shook with the scandal
Of the master's wife

So shake again in memory
Rattle me like a crime
And bury me in the sands
Of a forgotten time

Was it the bands holding you back
Or the songs that escaped
The shameless words that you mouthed
Or the modesty you faked

The wind blew wild and
Each blade in the moonlight bathed
The joy was in turning
Each page you forbade

Some kind of summer, some kind of winter
The reverse of every action
That shooting star burned clean
Through the veil of satisfaction

It's a room, that's all it was
But hey it's bigger than life
And the earth it shook with the scandal
Of the master's wife

So shake again in memory
Rattle me like a crime
And bury me in the sands
Of a forgotten time
