[Intro — whispered, theatrical] Welcome to the party... Where everybody's dressed to die. (Ooooo...) (Ahhh-ahhh...) Lights up! [Verse 1] Red lipstick, black dress, midnight on the floor, Little white lies waiting by the bathroom door, Everybody's dancing like the world's gonna end, One more little miracle, then we'll do it again. Champagne confidence, chemically enhanced, Everybody's looking for a second chance, Doctor Feelgood got a line out back, And the devil's wearing glitter with a heart attack. (Ooh la la!) What's your poison, baby? (Heh-heh!) Pick your flavor! [Pre-Chorus] We came for the high, Stayed for the fall, Everybody's beautiful When nobody's thinking at all. (Ohhh-ohhh!) Higher! (Ahhh-ahhh!) Higher! [Chorus] OVERDOSE! Take me where the neon roses grow, OVERDOSE! Everybody wants a little more, more, more! (Ooooo!) Kiss the ceiling, dance with ghosts, Toast to the thing that's killing you most, OVERDOSE! La-la-la-la—don't you know? The party ends when the red lights glow. [Verse 2] Pills in a purse like a box of jewels, Everybody's breaking somebody else's rules, Powder on the mirror, vanity on parade, "Just one little bump" — famous last phrase. Needle-thin promises dressed up in gold, A temporary heaven with a permanent toll, Everybody says, "I got this, I'm fine," Till the bass drops out and they run out of time. (Oops!) There goes the weekend! (Ooooh...) There goes your life! [Pre-Chorus] We came for the rush, We came for the thrill, But the thing about chasing Is the chase never still. (Ahhh-ahhh!) Faster! (Ooooo!) Faster! [Chorus] OVERDOSE! Take me where the neon roses grow, OVERDOSE! Everybody wants a little more, more, more! (Oh-la-la!) Kiss the ceiling, dance with ghosts, Toast to the thing that's killing you most, OVERDOSE! La-la-la-la—don't you know? The party ends when the red lights glow. [Bridge — stripped down, haunting] (Oooooo...) Can you hear the silence? No bass... No lights... No glitter in the night... Just a heartbeat Counting down. (Ahhh...) You wanted heaven, You bought the ticket, You wore the crown, Then something clicked it. [Build — theatrical] One more! (One more!) One more! (ONE MORE!) That's the lie we tell ourselves When we don't wanna go home. [Final Chorus — huge] OVERDOSE! Watch the pretty little nightmare glow, OVERDOSE! Everybody wants a little more, more, more! (Ooooo—AHHHH!) Dance like nobody's keeping score, Laugh while you're crawling across the floor, OVERDOSE! La-la-la-la—there you go... [Outro — whispered / fading harmonies] (Ooooo...) La la la... (Ahhh-ahhh...) La la la... The music keeps playing... Even when the dancer's gone. (Shhh...) Goodnight, darling. [Final distant vocal] Overdose...
