[Verse 1] Red curtain breathes Dust in the limelight Your glass leaves rings On a wobbling night I trace your gaze Down my sequined thigh A half-crooked grin And a well-rehearsed sigh [Chorus] Welcome to my little cabaret Where every lie looks golden on the stage I’ll say your name like it’s a holy phrase Then bow Then bow (you’ll still pay) This is my wicked cabaret I pour you dreams in a chipped champagne You clap for me and I steal your pain Right now Right now Then dance away [Verse 2] Feathered headband Leans as I lean in Tip in my palm Like a quiet sin Your wedding band Catches candle light You promise the moon I give you tonight [Chorus] Welcome to my little cabaret Where every lie looks golden on the stage I’ll say your name like it’s a holy phrase Then bow Then bow (you’ll still pay) This is my wicked cabaret I pour you dreams in a chipped champagne You clap for me and I steal your pain Right now Right now Then dance away [Bridge] Spotlight flickers Paint runs down my face Off the stage I’m just a stranger Counting tips in an empty place But when I step into that glow You forget what you came here for I grow taller on these heels You grow smaller at my door [Chorus] Welcome to my little cabaret Where every lie looks golden on the stage I’ll say your name like it’s a holy phrase Then bow Then bow (you’ll still pay) This is my wicked cabaret I pour you dreams in a chipped champagne You clap for me and I steal your pain Right now Right now Then fade away
