Cabaret Chrome

[Verse 1] Velvet curtains, smoke that curls and climbs, Fixers toast deals, mercs tap in time, Silken servers in electric lace, Masked assassins with a steel-eyed face. [Pre-Chorus] Tailored jackets cut from synth-leather, Data ties that shimmer together, Steel-heeled boots on the creaking floor, Every smile hides a secret war. [Chorus] In search of cruel swing, where the devils preen, Jazz on embers, deals fade in the steam, The night belongs to the masked, alone, Welcome to the Cabaret Chrome! [Verse 2] Netrunners slick in velvet tux, Laser tattoos pulse with luck, Golden pistols resting on the bar, One wrong glance and you won’t get far. [Pre-Chorus] Shining boots, hologram coats, Cyber-dancers, glittering throats, Whiskey burns, the shadows laugh, The city outside splits in half. [Chorus] In search of cruel swing, where the devils preen, Jazz on embers, deals fade in the steam, The night belongs to the masked, alone, Welcome to the Cabaret Chrome! [Verse 3 – One-night partner] A stolen glance in the golden haze, A one-night partner in the cabaret, Her chrome perfume, his lips of flame, Whispered promises that play no name. [Pre-Chorus] Gloved hands brushing, a fleeting pact, A stolen kiss, a bitter contract, By dawn they vanish without a trace, Only a ghost of an endless chase. [Chorus] In search of cruel swing, where the devils preen, Jazz on embers, deals fade in the steam, The night belongs to the masked, alone, Welcome to the Cabaret Chrome! [Solo – synthetic voice imitating guitar] [Final Chorus] In search of cruel swing, where the devils preen, Jazz on embers, deals fade in the steam, The night belongs to the masked, alone, Welcome to the Cabaret Chrome! [Outro] Curtains close, silence armed, The cabaret survives, forever charmed. ------------------------------------------- Original lyrics by Phyx © Copyright 2025 - @Phyx -------------------------------------------
