"A song that's fun musicly and sad lyricly; it combines my favorite melodic components of Joy Electric and the pop-punk genre. Also notable for its epic bridge, after which the energy really kicks in." - Wonko the Sane

Lyrics
*Note: In France, Versailles is pronounced VEER-SIGH. In Kentucky, it's pronounced VUR-SALES.*
Get me out of this town
Get me some place far away
Guess I've been here too long
But I can't stop feeling like I can't stay
Take me to foreign lands
Somewhere far beyond the sea
I slow down the sign to read
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
I know it's hell
But we will make it through another day
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
This town got stale
Just take my hand and we will run away
Woah, we will make it through another day
Only been here a week
But I can't wait to go home
Moving now with the throng
Herded through vast hallways and golden domes
So much like you is this
Place, from whence came your home's name
Wasted beauty's such a shame
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
I know it's hell
But we will make it through another day
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
This town got stale
Just take my hand and we will run away
Woah, we will make it through another day
As I flew against the winds
It seems you were making friends
And much more, with somebody new
I call for three weeks, no bites
Then stumble on your website
A lovely place to learn the truth
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
Right now I feel
I'm all at once surrounded and alone
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
Please feet don't fail
Me now, I'm closer yet still far from home
All at once surrounded and alone
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
I know it's hell
But we will make it through another day
Welcome to Versailles, Versailles
This town got stale
Just take my hand and we will run away
