Lyrics:
[Intro] Silk tie tightened at the edge of the curb Limousines ripple, headlights disturb Late summer evening perfumes the air Small silver invitation in my hair [Verse 0] Letters embossed, a caviar clue Streetlights beckon, they’re waiting for you Diamond cufflinks catch in the breeze My shadow stretches over mysteries [Verse 1] Velvet rope parts as I glide through the gloom Eyes in the foyer appraise my costume Champagne laughter, a shiver of fur Names drift by like scents that blur [Pre-Chorus] Steely glances caught in gold Vinyl spinning, secrets sold [Chorus] And who did you say you were again? Silhouettes move through the party at ten Lipstick flickers, my patience wears thin I have fans, darling, I don't pretend [Post-Chorus] Ha ha, ooh la la Glitter scattered on my scarf [Verse 2] Your trench coat finds my empty gaze Cigarette smoke spins and parades You say your name like it matters tonight But my number's unlisted, out with the light [Pre-Chorus] Silver shoes and secrets sell Curious faces ring the bell [Chorus] And who did you say you were again? Silhouettes move through the party at ten Lipstick flickers, my patience wears thin I have fans, darling, I don't pretend [Post-Chorus] Ha ha, ooh la la Glitter scattered on my scarf [Bridge] Mirror flashes in the powder room Your phantom smile dissolves my tune Red velvet shadows, velvet blows cold Names change hands, but the night's growing old [Chorus] And who did you say you were again? Silhouettes move through the party at ten Lipstick flickers, my patience wears thin I have fans, darling, I don't pretend [Drop] Ah ah, oui oui Faded faces watch me leave [Outro] Heavy doors swing as morning creeps in Perfume lingers, mannequins grin Voices echo down the grand hotel stair I wave goodbye—someone’s always there [Drop] Ha ha, je ne sais quoi Lenses flash and then I'm gone [Coda] Gold invitation slips under my door Footsteps fading down marble floors A name scribbled in a fortune-teller’s hand But I slip away, as only I can [Outro] Last chandelier shimmer, secrets disperse I brush past the velvet, I’m always first Phantom applause fading with the dawn This is my city—I vanish, then move on [Drop] Ha ha, ooh la la Ghosts adore but never stay
