Distorted Etiquette

Bonsoir! Bienvenue, mes amours! Champagne! Encore! Everybody wants more! Bonsoir! Bonsoir! I crossed my legs Then crossed the line You brought the rules I brought the wine A little lace A little bite I look expensive You look uptight You love my parties You love my taste You love the trouble Served up on a plate You call me wicked I call it flair Drinking my champagne In my own chair Mind your manners Watch your tone Keep your elbows Off my throne You love the scandal Love the view But darling, who Invited you? Distorted etiquette No regrets Pearls on my neck And a cigarette Let them eat cake I’ll lick the knife Then serve the slice Distorted etiquette Place your bets I wear the crown You pay the debts Madame wants diamonds Monsieur wants gold Everybody loves me While the wine is cold You borrow my name You borrow my shine You borrow my courage Then call it a crime You cheered when I danced You laughed when I fell You helped make the mess Then you wished me farewell Très chic. Très sweet. Such lovely friends. Until the music ends. Mind your manners Hold your tongue I learned the rules When I was young You raised your glass You took your share Now something’s burning And nobody’s there Distorted etiquette No regrets Pearls on my neck And a cigarette Let them eat cake I’ll lick the knife Then serve the slice Distorted etiquette Place your bets I wear the crown You pay the debts Funny little thing About a crowded room Everybody loves the fire Till they hear the boom The ones who poured the wine Are the first ones out the door The ones who begged for more Don’t know me anymore Mon amour, Where did you go? You loved the spectacle You loved the show But when the curtain fell Not one of you Said hello. Bonsoir! Bonsoir! Where’d everybody go? Encore! Encore! Now you’re telling me no? Très bien. Très chic. Such impeccable taste. You ate at my table Then you toasted my fall. Distorted etiquette No regrets A royal pain In a party dress Let them eat cake Let them stare I own the room I own the air Distorted etiquette Place your bets I wear the crown You pay the debts Let them eat cake I’ll take two. One for me And none for you. Bonsoir, mes amours. What a lovely crowd. You were so much louder When I was wearing the crown.
