[Intro]
[Spoken, smoky voice]
Ladies… gentlemen… sinners alike…
Raise your glass.
Tonight we dance until the moon forgets our names.
[Verse 1]
Crystal in the coupe, watch the city blur by,
Velvet on the walls, got a devil in her eyes.
Trumpets in the smoke while the vinyl starts to spin,
Every broken heart got a reason to grin.
Champagne shimmer, dancing in the candlelight,
Gold on the ceiling, shadows dressed in black and white.
Pocket full of luck and a sleeve full of tricks,
One more little sip and the room starts to twist.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ohhh… hear the heartbeat under the bass…
Clock hands melting all over the place…
Nobody’s leaving until daylight wins…
One more round… let the ritual begin.
[Chorus]
Everybody swing—
Raise your glasses to the sky,
Lose your worries, let ’em die.
Everybody move—
Feet on fire, souls collide,
Laughing with the ghosts tonight.
Round and round we go,
Neon halos start to glow.
If the night’s a spell,
We’re already under…
Under the velvet hex.
[Verse 2]
Roulette heartbeat, lipstick on the rim,
Fortune likes to dance with the beautifully condemned.
Saxophone crying while the kick drum grins,
Even bad decisions make the best old friends.
Silver tongue bartender pouring liquid stars,
Every toast echoes through a hundred empty scars.
Suit jackets flying, dresses catching sparks,
Everybody shining in the middle of the dark.
[Bridge]
Hands up—
Let the records crackle.
Hands up—
Let the glasses rattle.
Spin me like the vinyl,
Love me like the night.
If tomorrow comes…
We’ll worry then.
Not tonight.
[Final Chorus]
Everybody swing—
Raise your glasses to the sky,
Every stranger’s family tonight.
Everybody move—
Heartbeats tangled in the light,
Nobody’s afraid to fly.
Round and round we spin,
Let the midnight pull us in.
If the night’s a spell,
We don’t want salvation…
We’re dancing in the velvet hex.
[Outro]
[Whispered over fading piano, upright bass, and vinyl crackle]
One last drink…
One last dance…
When the lights come on…
We’ll pretend this was only a dream.
