The Cruxshadows - Ballrooms of Mars

AWESOME version of Ballrooms of Mars by The Cruxshadows. Original by T-rex. Gotta love Rogue's voice.

Lyrics:

You're gonna look fine
You're primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All over the trembling planes
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And the wind and cars
And people of the past

I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your things you stole
Upon every star
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman and
We'll dance our lives away
In the Ballrooms of Mars

You talk about day
I'm talkin 'bout night time
When monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things at night
That are better not to behold

You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a gutter- gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen him
I've seen him

[WINTERBORN6]

where is this album from? i do not see it listed on Cruxshadows website and have been unable to find this song but it is excellent! the closest I have found vocal and musical is by sapphire rebellion?

[Charler990]

@WINTERBORN6 Its from their album Echoes and Artificacts which is a compilation of covers of songs from other bands.

[IoEstasCedonta]

This song is not by the cruxshadows. Jesus Christ.

[Charler990]

Yes it is. it's from their album Echoes and Artifacts.

[anthrocryptid]

i love this song and rogue sings it wonderfully

[qvrnc565]

they are too different to compare. besides the lyrics, they have nothing in common. im not saying this version is bad or anything, but i dont think you should compare the two.

[mreman239]

@Sundermize The Cruxshadows' style of music calls for a lack of vocal tonality. Most (if not all) Gothic bands have this in common.

cruxshadows > t-rex

I want to like this song 93874239 times. =]

[Evilrose0611]

i think i like this version better simply because the cruxshadows do i style of music i am inlove with

[mreman239]

@WINTERBORN6 Echoes and Artifacts was released in 2001 from Dancing Ferret Discs, is not a compilation album- but a full-length studio album by the Cruxshadows which only contains a 2:11 ratio of cover songs.

For those of you who say this version is not as good as T.Rex's version is a matter of opinion. Rogue had created it to fit his style of musicianship and pays homage to the late, great glam band T. Rex.

i listen to this song all the time when i get ready for a gothic themed thing from school to the mall to a dance to a club xD
