Palace Lyrics - Present Tense - Wild Beasts

n detail you were even more beautiful than from afar 

I could love you like the blinded would do 

Feeling their way through the dark 

In the darkened house of love it feels like I was sleeping 

But the bath ran cold 

This is a palace and love is a sport 

Maybe this heaven is a game of old words 

A man who made old habits 

Winter was long, now is going to a feast 

We may be saddened to know but at the call of higher needs 

Ooh, hey palace, ooh. 

The past old faces of those who vaguely resemble love 

But well close enough 

You remind me of the person I wanted to be 

Before I ever knew 

Ooh, hey palace, ooh. 

Ooh, hey palace, ooh. 

Winter was long, I have come to fear 

We may be saddened to know but at the call of higher needs
