lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen (French)
This is an important announcement (French)

This house is on fire
and you hail the king
they smell fear
when you get in the ring.

Well you pack a punch
and you kick like a mule
there's no way out
when you play by the rules

Lover

Beware the boy king
who never shed his skin
He'll consume you like the snake
that's buried deep within.

Lover
