[Verse] I came to powder my nose tonight Not to chase shadows or start a fight Under the neon Where dreams burn bright [Chorus] I came to powder my nose and sip whiskey Not to fall in love or get too risky Powder my nose Sip whiskey Oh so frisky [Verse 2] The band’s playing slow The sax croons deep Secrets are whispered But none I’ll keep My heels tap the floor My heart skips a beat [Prechorus] Don’t ask me why I linger here The smoke hides truths The whiskey clears [Chorus] I came to powder my nose and sip whiskey Not to drown in blues or feel too tipsy Powder my nose Sip whiskey Oh so risky [Bridge] The moon winks through the velvet haze A fleeting guest in these smoky stays But tonight I’m queen of the masquerade
