Lyrics
Burlesque
Left my house in a rush another morning of push & shove
grab a coffee run upstairs hoped the boss had not arrived yet.
Music playing in my head swirling 'round, I could not face this day.
So I waked out right then to a bright sunny day
and a house of burlesque came across my way
Had enough of files and phones and those sickly pale green walls
walked inside into the dark where the actors wore a spotlight
Music blasting from the stage while the dancers move to improvise
Burlesque Burlesque
Can help me make my day
Burlesque Burlesque
We all live different ways
Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque
Grew up straight and grew up clean like a little town machine
So who would hear of such a thing from a boy with a career dear
all my logic and ideals said I'd find the Very-Deadlies there
But the charm in the sleaze made me try out so
I jumped in a world I knew not about
Had enough of saving face in a world full of degenerates
If alive or dead and gone they talk about us anyway
Burlesque Burlesque
Can help me make my day
Burlesque Burlesque
We all live different ways
Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque,Burlesque
