The Speakeasy Syndicate

[Intro] Step through the curtain Password on your tongue Coats on the hook Now the night’s begun (ha!) [Verse 1] Backroom ballroom Gold tooth grin Cufflinks glitter As they wave you in Trumpet on the table Dice in a glass Every little secret Signed off in brass [Pre-Chorus] Who’s pulling all these puppet strings? The ones that make the room swing Snap of a finger Crowd in a trance Raise your cuff Kid You’re in on the dance [Chorus] Welcome to the Speakeasy Syndicate (hey!) Running every room from the pit to the balcony Shoes on fire and the rules all counterfeit If you know Then you know Keep it down It’s a felony Speakeasy Syndicate Hush that grin We don’t run the town We just plug it in One wink One nod You’re an instant hit Signed in smoke to the Speakeasy Syndicate [Verse 2] Ledgers in lipstick Scrawled on a fan Set list scribbled On the palm of a hand Clarinet crooked Like a loaded smile Every crooked note Worth your while [Pre-Chorus] Who tunes the chaos just right? Turns a little trouble into velvet night Tap of a toe and a dangerous chance Tip your glass Love Step into the dance [Chorus] Welcome to the Speakeasy Syndicate (oh!) Running every room from the pit to the balcony Shoes on fire and the rules all counterfeit If you know Then you know Keep it down It’s a felony Speakeasy Syndicate Hush that grin We don’t run the town We just plug it in One wink One nod You’re an instant hit Signed in smoke to the Speakeasy Syndicate [Bridge] [Beat drops to bass and snaps] Shh Hear that? Coat check code Three taps One clap You’re in the fold (uh-huh) Names in the hat Pulled by chance But the band already Booked your dance [Chorus] Welcome to the Speakeasy Syndicate (hey!) Running every room from the pit to the balcony Shoes on fire and the rules all counterfeit If you know Then you know Keep it down It’s a felony Speakeasy Syndicate Take that bow You were just a face You’re a legend now One wink One nod You’re an instant hit Signed in smoke to the Speakeasy Syndicate (oh yeah)
