[[Verse 1] Dress the void in coordination Let the lighting do the work If it looks enough like purpose No one notices the hurt Give the cameras something sacred Give the papers something strange Nobody has to understand it They can argue what it means [Pre-Chorus] Places, everyone, we're live now Find your mark and hold it still Make it shocking, make it tasteful Make it mean whatever sells [Chorus] Dress the void, dress the void Give them something to adore Dress the void, dress the void Make it bigger than before Paint it gold and call it meaning Tell them what they're looking at Dress the void, dress the void Anything to fill the noise [Post-Chorus] Come on, come on Everybody play along Come on, come on Nothing strange is going on [Verse 2] Put the dancers into symbols Put the symbols into rows Add a little provocation Just in case attention goes Make it solemn, make it sexy Make it holy, make it loud Mix a sermon with a fashion show And sell it to the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Places, everyone, we're live now Find your mark and face the lens Nobody knows the whole routine They only know their part [Chorus] Dress the void, dress the void Give them something to adore Dress the void, dress the void Make it bigger than before Paint it gold and call it meaning Tell them what they're looking at Dress the void, dress the void Anything to fill the noise [Cheerful Virtuosic Violin Solo] [Bridge] Wasn't there a game here somewhere? Wasn't someone getting crowned? Never mind, the stage is ready We've got symbolism now More confetti, more projection More important things to say If the spectacle gets big enough The event can stay out of the way [Instrumental Break – Playful Violin and Glockenspiel] [Breakdown – Sweetly Sung] Smile for the sponsors Smile for the screen Smile like you know What any of this means Three, two, one— Look profound! [Bright Violin Flourish] [Final Chorus – Bigger] Dress the void, dress the void Give them something to adore Dress the void, dress the void Make it bigger than before Paint it gold and call it meaning Tell them what they're looking at Dress the void, dress the void Anything to fill the noise [Outro] Come on, come on Everybody play along Come on, come on Nothing strange is going on [Bright, Virtuosic Violin Outro]
