[Intro – Twinkly, eerie carousel keys]
🎠
My friends don’t walk — they run,
Skinny-dip in chaos just for fun
Pop balloons with silver guns
Laughing as the world comes undone
⸻
[Verse 1 – Playful but demented tone, upbeat tempo]
It’s not easy having class and charm
While greasing palms and twisting arms
They kiss you sweet, then twist the knife
I like the taste — it brings me to life
Smells like secrets, rotting gold
Curled-up sins in stories old
I’m not a villain, just misaligned
With a heart embalmed and a fractured mind
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Whispered, then escalating to a smirk]
Peeling the skin off my face
’Cause I really hate being safe
They call me crazy, mad, insane
But tell me, love — aren’t we the same?
⸻
[Chorus – Big, theatrical, with layered voices]
🎭
I can’t decide if you should laugh or cry
Spoon-feed you sweets or watch you die
Don’t hang your head — we’re all deranged
The best people are a bit estranged
So lock the doors and kill the lights
We’re going dancing through the night
No one’s normal — and that’s divine
The best people die laughing every time
⸻
[Verse 2 – Sassy and sinister]
Doctor, doctor, give me lies
I color code my alibis
Grease-stained lips and rabbit holes
Spill secrets from your sugar bowl
All the best wear madness well
We smile sweet on carousels
You think I’m off my rocker? Sure.
I burned the couch, now I want more
⸻
[Bridge – Haunting music-box melody, low vocals then rising]
🎵
I could throw you in a lake
Or feed you poisoned frosted cake
(I won’t deny I’ll miss your face…)
But darling, I’ve prepared your grave
I wear my scars like perfume now
A blend of gunpowder and vows
So tell the shrink I’m unrefined—
Just blame it on my Valentine
⸻
[Final Chorus – Choir of chaos, explosive sound, ends abruptly with a laugh]
I can’t decide if you should live or burn
Kiss me slow or never return
You say I’m psycho — yeah, that’s right
I tuck you in and say goodnight
So lock the doors and dim the moon
The circus plays its final tune
The best people die laughing, dear
And I’m the ringmaster of your fear
🎪 Honk honk… bye-bye, darling.
⸻
[Outro – Twinkling lullaby keys fade, last line whispered:]
All the best people are crazy…
And I think you’re one of us.
