[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
