Pretty When I Sin (Remake) x Alibi (Etoille Mashup 2026)
[INTRO β ETOILLE / GUEST] (Ticking clock, vinyl hiss, dark piano, sliding 808. Two female voices.) [ETOILLE β whispered] So... Where were you tonight? (Soft laugh.) Careful, baby. Think before you answer. [GUEST β whispered] Shhβ¦ You thought I was the good girl, didnβt you? [VERSE 1 β GUEST] Lipstick like a warning sign Hearts break when they cross my line Silk dress, but the knifeβs inside Sweet smile, but I donβt play nice You love the fire in my eyes You swear youβre different from the lies But baby Iβve been here before Every king falls at my door [VERSE 2 β ETOILLE] Three AM, the city sleeps Velvet shadows, tangled sheets Your lipstick resting by the wine We should probably get our stories right You were at the opera, I was out of town Funny how your earrings ended up lying around You say you went to dinner, I say I stayed home Better check our stories before somebody phones (Spoken, teasing.) Darling... You hate the opera. (Soft laugh.) Details. [PRE-CHORUS β GUEST / ETOILLE] [GUEST] They say Iβm trouble in a red dress A pretty little dark mess But you still want the taste [ETOILLE] One little secret, two perfect smiles We could keep them guessing for a while Every little question, every little why Just another reason to rehearse our lie (Whisper.) Ready? Let's practice. [CHORUS β GUEST] I look pretty when I sin When I let the chaos in Angel face with villain skin Baby, thatβs the game I win Say my name like a prayer But you know I donβt play fair Heaven tried to keep me in But I look pretty when I sin [CHORUS β ETOILLE] You're my alibi, I'm your perfect lie Two innocent faces in the morning light Let them ask their questions, let them wonder why Nobody tells a story better than you and I You're my alibi, keep me by your side Every little secret that we have to hide They can have the truth they want to buy But you know mine, and I know why Alibi... (Alibi...) You and I... (You and I...) Such beautiful lies... [VERSE 3 β ETOILLE / POP-RAP] (Bouncing 808, ticking hi-hats.) Tick-tock, wristwatch, quarter past three You say you were home, but you were with me Black dress, gold chain, lipstick on glass Better make a story that'll actually last Click-click, phone rings, somebody's calling Quick-quick, darling, your excuses are falling You were at a meeting, I was on a flight Funny how we both disappeared last night No names, no dates, no little clues She's got her story, I've got mine too One glance, one laugh, another mistake How many excuses can two women make? (Spoken exchange.) "Business trip?" "Too obvious." "Charity dinner?" "Much better." [VERSE 4 β GUEST] Midnight dripping from my heels Every promise never real Youβre addicted to the thrill Of a heart that loves to kill Golden halo cracked in two I donβt break β I break you Every warning you ignore Just makes you want me more [BRIDGE β CLOCKWORK BREAKDOWN] (Only ticking clock. Two intimate female voices.) "So..." "Where were you last night?" "At home. Alone." "And me?" "At the opera." (Pause.) "Darling..." "You were with me." (Soft laughter.) "I know." (Close whisper.) "That's why it's an alibi." (Clock stops. Silence.) [GUEST β sinister whisper] Donβt call me your salvation Iβm the final temptation You built your own damn cage Now watch me walk away [FINAL CHORUS β ALTERNATING FEMALE LEADS] (Massive cinematic 808 drop, strings, layered harmonies.) [GUEST] I look pretty when I sin When the darkness pulls me in Halo falling from my skin Guess the villain always wins Say my name like a prayer But you know I donβt play fair Heaven tried to keep me in But I look pretty when I sin [ETOILLE] You're my alibi, I'm your perfect lie Two innocent faces in the morning light Let them ask their questions, let them wonder why Nobody tells a story better than you and I Your story! (My story!) My secret! (Your secret!) Nobody knows! (Nobody knows!) Alibi... (Alibi...) You and I... (You and I...) Such beautiful lies... [OUTRO β BOTH, WHISPERED] [ETOILLE] Right. One more time. You were at the opera. I was out of town. (Pause.) And we definitely... Never saw each other. (Soft laugh.) Goodnight, darling.
