[Verse] He walks with a cane so fancy and bright Silver-tipped shoes that reflect the night He tips his hat with a charming grin But don't believe what lies within [Chorus] Never trust the gentleman in the top hat and monocle His words are sweet but his heart's diabolical He'll sell you dreams made of dust and smoke A promise kept is just his cruel joke [Verse 2] He talks of treasures Of lands so wide But he's got secrets he wants to hide With every laugh He spins a tale A mask so perfect it’ll never fail [Chorus] Never trust the gentleman in the top hat and monocle His words are sweet but his heart's diabolical He'll sell you dreams made of dust and smoke A promise kept is just his cruel joke [Bridge] The streets whisper as he passes by A shadow of deceit under the sky In every alley In every town He leaves a trail of faces wearing frowns [Chorus] Never trust the gentleman in the top hat and monocle His words are sweet but his heart's diabolical He'll sell you dreams made of dust and smoke A promise kept is just his cruel joke
