The young New Zealand singer Lorde gained popularity after the release of her hit song, Royals. Now she is conquering charts worldwide with another hit – Team – from her debut 2013 studio album, titled Pure Heroine. The track has peaked at number 7 on US Billboard Hot 100 and has been certified platinum in Australia. The message of the song is similar to that of Royals and can be quoted like this – We live in cities you’ll never see on screen, Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things. Despite the obvious similarity, Team was well received by most critics, praised for its musical style and lyrical content. You can watch the Team music video right now, with the lyrics available below. Are you impressed by Lorde’s new track?

Lorde – Team Song Words
Wait ’til you’re announced
We’ve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll send the call out
(Send the call out [15x])
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
Lyrics are provided by Geniusbeauty.com
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
We live in cities you’ll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we’re on each other’s team
I’m kind of over getting 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
We live in cities you’ll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we’re on each other’s team
I’m kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
I’m kinda older than I was when I revelled without a care
So there
We live in cities you’ll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we’re on each other’s team
We’re on each other’s team
And you know, we’re on each other’s team
We’re on each other’s team
And you know, and you know, and you know
