[Verse 1]
A winter palace from the Arabian Nights
White waves on an ocean
Gems from a golden age
[Pre-Chorus]
Life in your new world
Turning 'round and 'round
Making some sense
Where there's no sense at all
[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
No promises, but if you should fall
[Verse 2]
Stars die in the silence of Arabian Nights
Wind washes the seasons
In these days of a golden age
[Pre-Chorus]
Life in your new world
Turning 'round and 'round
Making some sense
Where there's no sense at all
[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
No promises, but if you should fall
[Bridge]
I could give you more than just the shape of things
Break every word, begin it all again
Your name on a white sheet
Pure lace shot with passion
But as love lies bleeding in your hands
[Verse 3]
Heaven sends you no promises of Arabian Nights
No white waves on an ocean
No gems from a golden age
[Pre-Chorus]
Life in your new world
Turning 'round and 'round
So make some sense
Where there's no sense at all
[Chorus]
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (oh)
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
I give you no promises, but if you should fall
No promises, but if you should fall
You fall
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
No promises, but if you should fall
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh)
No promises, but if you should fall
You fall
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (ooh)
[Outro]
Life in your new world
As it turns 'round and 'round
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
