Why must the good die young
While all the rich men age?
Is it a wicked love affair
Or just a twisted game?
I could have held your hand
But now it's getting late
So let's run to the fields of Versailles

Another hero's gone
Another fire brigade
I would've been a king to you
And let 'em all eat cake
We could've ruled the land
But that would never do
So let's run to the fields of Versailles

Virtues, kiss goodbye
Virtues aren't for us tonight
Virtues, hold me tight
Virtues, we can leave 'em all behind
Virtues aren't for us tonight

Another hero's gone
Another fire brigade
I could've been the queen to you
And let 'em all eat cake
We could've ruled the land
But that would never do
So let's run to the fields of Versailles

Virtues, kiss goodbye
Virtues aren't for us tonight
Virtues, hold me tight
Virtues, we can leave 'em all behind
Virtues aren't for us tonight

Virtues aren't for us tonight
