[Verse 1] Silk gloves tap the crystal rim, laughter like a violin Candlelight flickers, but darling, she’s sicker than sin She toasts to wealth and waltzes through the grand façade Men fall at her feet, but soon they'll fall much harder—oh, mon Dieu! [Pre-Chorus] Velvet whispers, sugar-laced sighs Kisses that kill with a look in her eyes A diamond-studded dagger behind that soft smile One sip, one slip—bon voyage, mon chéri, au revoir [Chorus] Champagne & cyanide—golden bubbles, dark goodbyes Laced with a secret she’s dying to hide A toast to love, a taste of lies—hearts go cold before they realize One last kiss, then close your eyes— Champagne & cyanide [Verse 2] Midnight, she’s draped in pearls, spinning tales with poison swirls She’s a Monet—beauty painted over something worse He says, "Tell me your secrets," she just gives a laugh “Oh darling, I’d tell you, but then you’d never ask.” [Pre-Chorus] Velvet whispers, sugar-laced sighs Lover by lover, they’re lost in her tide They sip on desire, they drink in her lies Till the stars fade to black in a venomous high [Chorus] Champagne & cyanide—golden bubbles, dark goodbyes Laced with a secret she’s dying to hide A toast to love, a taste of lies—hearts go cold before they realize One last kiss, then close your eyes— Champagne & cyanide [Bridge] (soft, sinister) Crystal flutes still glisten, bodies fade like whispers Police trace the trail, but the trail is in cinders Another name, another face, another city, same embrace She pours another glass and steps into the masquerade [Outro] Soft as lace, sharp as knives She walks away, still alive One more lover, one more crime One more toast to the perfect lie... (whispered) Champagne & cyanide.
