Mac Huff --- From "Femme Gaze" - Featuring VAMP October 4 & 5, 2025 Austin Public Library Juli Orlandini, Conductor Benjamin Dia, Piano Scott Clark, Guitar Carolyn Trowbridge, Percussion --- LYRICS: Wait till you're announced. We've not yet lost all our graces. The hounds will stay in chains. Look upon Your Greatness and she'll Send the call out… Call all the ladies out. They're in their finery. A hundred jewels on throats. A hundred jewels between teeth. Now bring my boys in, Their skin in craters like the moon. The moon we love like a brother, While he glows through the room. Dancin' around the lies we tell. Dancin' around big eyes, as well. Even the comatose, They don't dance and tell. CHORUS: We live in cities you'll never see on-screen. Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things. Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams. And you know, we're on each other's team. I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air. So there. So all the cups got broke. Shards beneath our feet. But it wasn't my fault. And everyone's competing For a love they won't receive. 'Cause what this palace wants is release. CHORUS I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air. So there. I'm kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care. So there. CHORUS
