In a blaze of youth and new desires A thousand oceans couldn't quench the fire You felt that night You knew just as well as I As soon the academy closed It'd be black screens and vintage clothes The stars, our canvas, darling We live a lifetime in every heartbeat When we were the kings (We were, we were) When we owned the streets (We were, we were) Back in our little infinity When we were the kings Well scars look better on saints and sages But love looks better on tattered pages Child, pay no mind Graffiti turns to art with time As soon the academy closed It'd be white sheets and velvet thrones The stars are Da Vinci, darling Composing Mona Lisa in the light of car beams When we were the kings (We were, we were) When we owned the streets (We were, we were) Back in our little infinity When we were the kings I'll never forget the way it began Warning signs and cigarettes The war was our kingdom, the time was the bet Can you feel my heartbeat, you feel my heartbeat? I'll never forget what you said You said, "Hold me in, pull your breath In this moment we are permanent And you can always find me, you will always find me" I'll never forget the way it began Warning signs and cigarettes The war was our kingdom, the time was the bet Can you feel my heartbeat, you feel my heartbeat? I'll never forget what you said You said, "Hold me in, pull your breath In this moment we are permanent And you can always find me, you will always find me" When we were the kings When we owned the streets Back in our little infinity Yeah, we're still the kings (We were, we were) Yeah, we still own the streets (We were, we were) Back in our little infinity When we were the kings We were the kings We were, we were the kings
