Midnight Masquerade [¡CC! Remix]

[Verse 1] Velvet mask on my pale face Gold card key to the back gate Red wine shaking in the glass You don't know I'm watching you laugh Silk and lace Hunger and charm Gloved hand Veins on your arm You say the night feels strange I say We all need a change [Chorus] Welcome to the midnight masquerade Where the mirrors lie and the debts get paid Every little heartbeat's on parade Dance until your color starts to fade Oh Darling At the midnight masquerade Every whispered promise cuts like blade Kiss me as the candles drip and sway You'll forget the sun by day (ohh) [Verse 2] Chandeliers shiver on the chain Smoke curls Spelling out your name I smell thunder in your pulse Sweet Electric Dangerous We spin closer Dizzy and slow You ask "Have we met before?" I say "In another life" Teeth just brushing in the light [Chorus] Welcome to the midnight masquerade Where the mirrors lie and the debts get paid Every little heartbeat's on parade Dance until your color starts to fade Oh Darling At the midnight masquerade Every whispered promise cuts like blade Kiss me as the candles drip and sway You'll forget the sun by day [Bridge] [Music drops to hushed harpsichord and low strings] Take off your mask I'll take off my shame Give me your throat I'll give you my name We could stay here Endless Unafraid One more step Dear One more shade [Chorus] Welcome to the midnight masquerade Where the mirrors lie and the debts get paid Every little heartbeat's on parade Dance until your color starts to fade Oh Darling At the midnight masquerade Let the old life shatter Slip away Say the word and we can stay this way Forever in the dark we made (hey) [Crittercat note***- added an "I" before the word blade]
