Gilded Thunder - Burlesque

They say every town's got a secret… Ours wears diamonds and a smile. They call her Velvet, and she earned that name Soft to the touch, but she plays the game Had to grow up fast, learned early on How to work the room and how to own a song She could've cried, she could've closed the door Instead she stepped out on that mirrored floor High heels clicking like a metronome Every spotlight whispers you're home She don't beg, she don't borrow She don't wait for tomorrow When she moves, the whole room knows Who's running the show Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Feel the heat when she walks by Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Set the night on fire She don't need your love, no She just lets you dream you're enough That's burlesque, baby! That's burlesque! Champagne lips and a cigarette glow She knows every move before you know Counts her tips in the dressing room light Queens don't apologize for their bite Prima donna? Yeah, she'll wear that crown Turns the whole damn city upside down Every tease is by design Every glance says this is mine She sets the pace, she draws the line Every move is on her time You don't take - you're allowed to see What she wants you to believe Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Feel the heat when she walks by Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Set the night on fire She don't need your love, no She just lets you dream you're enough That's burlesque, baby! That's burlesque! Who runs the night? (VELVET!) Who owns the light? (VELVET!) Who makes 'em beg, crawl, and plead? (VELVET!) Who's everything you'll never be? (VELVET!) She survived it! She designed it! She's the queen of her own destiny! Diamonds... Feathers... Lights... Action. Now give it UP for VELVET! Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Hear the rhythm shake the walls Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Watch the mighty fall She don't need control, no She is the pulse, she is the soul Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Say it slow, say it loud Bur-lesque! (Burlesque!) Queen of the crowd She's the power, she's the glow We're just lucky Yeah, we're just lucky To be in her glow Bur-lesque! Bur-lesque! Bur-lesque! Encore, darling. The night is always yours.
