[Intro]

We are phantoms of the future
Ordinaries from the super but we are high
Sing your anthems to your rulers
Disconnect from their medullas and be alive
We are transients from the sewers
But please treat us like we're friends when we arrive
You can kill just destroy them
Here's your pistol and your poison please decide
Please decide
Because Heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound

BUT OH WHAT A LIE!
OH WHAT A LIE!

[Verse 1]

With the sun as my accompolice
So big God please be my compass
Be my guide

I got my dowry for Medusa
Hopefully she'll take my ring and be my bride
We will gather information
Secret meeting in my basement
We are spies

You can kill or just destroy them
Here's your pistol and your poison please decide
Please decide
Please decide

[Hook]

Because Heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound

Because Heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound

BUT OH WHAT A LIE!
Oh me oh my
OH WHAT A LIE!

No Kings No Queens
No butterflies

No Kings No Queens
No butterflies

No Kings No Queens

[Verse 2]

Canaries in your cavern
While you sleep in your apartments
We must hide

Take the velz off of your killa
Take your place inside the search light
And be described

Lets see your eyes

Because we are phantoms from the future
Ordinaries from the super but we are high

Just the transients from the sewers
Please don't treat us like we're friends when we arrive
When we arrive

Because Heirplanes flying under the ground
Fireworks that don't make a sound

[Hook]

Butterflies (Repeat x5)
