lyrics

V1
When I was a little lass
The angels leapt from panes of glass
So unafraid, unafraid
And the arches knelt to pray
While the gargoyles kept away
any demon that would scheme to steal
My childlike faith

V2
We huddled up, we held on tight
For grounded men were jealous of
the angel’s flight, angel’s flight
They were butterflies to them
so they brought their boards to pin
The wings and bodies of our gods
For studying

V3
We couldn’t fight them in the end
Once we saw the heavens through their
Modern lens, modern lens
Oh how can we atone
For the secrets we were shown?
Like a basilisk they fixed our spirits
Hard as stone

PRE
Alas the muses through their glasses
Drift away as only madness
Drowning in the din
Of our animal skins

CHORUS
Enchanté, Enchanté, Enchanté, Enchanté
Every myth to crack its lips
has nothing left to say
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
if we can’t raise the dead
We’re gonna raise hell instead.

V4
From chagrin I’ve been released
Paint me in a portrait sans the fig leaves
Fig leaves
And I will not be concerned
Or ignore the things I yearn
My hunger is the rule I cannot overturn

PRE 2
Alas the virtues through their glasses
Hid themselves from our madness
All we have within
Is our animal skins

CHORUS 2
Enchanté x4
Greet your beast and let ‘em streak into the fray
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
if we can’t raise the dead
We’re gonna raise hell instead.

BRIDGE
I miss the days when stars where saintly
they sang to me in ways innately
before we enslaved the symphony
to playing anthems for selling things

I used to wonder, wander farther
into awe, but those days were squandered
My ghost was lost to the grownup gallows
So I find my spirit in the bottle
But, Oh! that bottle
Oh that bottle, oh that bottle
Oh that bottle!!!

Enchanté x4
Name the powers “meteors”
and let us go insane
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay
If we can’t raise the dead
We’re gonna raise hell instead

A mesmeric performance. Delicate and delightful. Forceful and demanding. Complex and light. Stunning work. Peter Jones
