What makes the Capitol cooler?
The footlights are flickering on
"So sorry to have kept you waiting"
Said the singer as he started the song
The singer as he started the song
The footlights are flickering on
Making way for tomorrow
Designing the ultimate mod
Dull care and worry abandon
As soon as they start to applaud
Isn't it strange, somehow?
Always thought this was a beautiful place
Tomorrow is near, for now
Behold this elegant grace
New Year's Eve with your mother
Pressing your nose to the glass
The feathered fox is robbing the rich
As the future just plunders the past, yeah
The future just plunders the past
Isn't it remarkable how
They built such a wonderful place?
Remove the jewel from the crown
Behold its elegant grace
Maybe they've gone too far
Separated far from their seat
The only guide comes from the stars
If that's what you want to believe
Is it the end of this era?
I guess that's just one way to perceive
Will they die with their boots on?
If that's how you want to proceed
They're making way for tomorrow
If that's what you want to believe, hey
