III. The Crystal Ballroom

STUDIO

Intro: Celesta, Harp, Sweeping Strings] [Whispered Voices] Follow the lanterns... Follow the sound... The doors are opening. [Orchestra Swells] [Verse 1] At the end of the silver hallway Past the roses made of flame There’s a room where midnight lingers And the mirrors know your name Crystal chandeliers are turning Little galaxies of light Velvet wings unfold around us As the orchestra takes flight Every doorway disappears Every clock forgets the hour We are spinning through forever In a palace made of flowers [Pre-Chorus] Take my hand Don’t look down Feel the whole room turning round Silver wheels Golden floor Tonight we are something more [Chorus] In the Crystal Ballroom We dance beneath a diamond moon Round and round Till the stars come down In the Crystal Ballroom Every heart becomes a tune Glitter falling Heaven calling And the night goes Round and round and round [Disco String Break] [Four-on-the-Floor Beat Intensifies] [Backing Vocals] Round and round... Round and round... [Verse 2] There are angels wearing platform boots Kings in feathers, queens in blue Painted masks and mirrored jackets Every color breaking through Roller skaters trace the heavens Circling Saturn on the floor Every turn becomes a doorway Every kiss unlocks one more There are violins in balconies Trumpets shining overhead And a thousand crystal butterflies Leave constellations where they tread [Pre-Chorus] Raise your hands Lose your name Everybody joins the flame Silver wheels Golden floor We don’t need tomorrow anymore [Chorus] In the Crystal Ballroom We dance beneath a diamond moon Round and round Till the stars come down In the Crystal Ballroom Every heart becomes a tune Glitter falling Heaven calling And the night goes Round and round and round [Instrumental Roller-Disco Break] [Funky Guitar] [String Stabs] [Disco Bass] [Wordless Choir] Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah [Spoken Voice] Ladies and gentlemen... Travelers, dreamers, wanderers between worlds... By royal decree, the Crystal Ballroom will remain open until the end of time. [Beat Drops] [Choir] DANCE! [Bridge] If morning finds us Let it wait outside If daylight calls us Tell the sun we’ve died And been reborn In sequins and light With wings on our shoulders And stars in our eyes [Orchestra Builds] One more turn One more night One more revolution Around the light [Key Change] [Final Chorus] In the Crystal Ballroom We dance beneath a diamond moon Round and round Till the stars come down In the Crystal Ballroom Every dream is coming true Hearts are racing Worlds are changing And the night goes Round and round and round [Choir] Crystal Ballroom! [Lead Vocal] Keep it turning! [Choir] Crystal Ballroom! [Lead Vocal] Keep it burning! [Full Ensemble] Silver wheels! Golden light! We belong to endless night! Round and round And round we go Where it ends We’ll never know! [Extended Disco Outro] [Layered Vocals] Round... And round... And round... In the Crystal Ballroom... [Celesta returns] [Whispered Voice] The next room is waiting.
