[Intro]
Shadows waltz along the Fade
Crystal laughter, serenade
Silver ash on window grain
Suitcase packed with yesterday

[Verse 0]
Lace up boots and soft cologne
Studio hum, no one alone
Silent signal, undertone
Night prepares its monochrome

[Verse 1]
Sultry air and city gleam
Painted lips, a distant dream
Shimmered cufflinks, subtle scheme
Opal night on the wide-screen

[Pre-Chorus]
Heavy doors and velvet ropes
Secret codes beneath the coats
Trading lines like anecdotes
Spotlight flickers, subtle notes

[Chorus]
Bowie leads and Ferry too
Oh no, not rivals, just passing through
Velvet jackets, silvered shoes
Faces in the looking glass, who’s fooling who

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, la la la, la la la
Ooh, la la la, la la la

[Verse 2]
Cocktail hour, midnight blue
The night is dressed for a rendezvous
Mask and laughter, distant view
Two silhouettes and a cast-off clue

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirrored rooms and cigarettes
Ticking clocks, unmade bets
Trading sides in old roulette
Look so fine, but not a threat

[Chorus]
Bowie leads and Ferry too
Oh no, not rivals, just passing through
Velvet jackets, silvered shoes
Faces in the looking glass, who’s fooling who

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, la la la, la la la
Ooh, la la la, la la la

[Bridge]
Amber light beneath the door
Shifting shadows cross the floor
Stories flicker, masks restored
Just two gentlemen bored of war

[Pre-Chorus]
Glances traded, crystal clear
Every line, a souvenir
No need for crowns or cavalier
Just two stars colliding here

[Chorus]
Bowie leads and Ferry too
Oh no, not rivals, just passing through
Velvet jackets, silvered shoes
Faces in the looking glass, who’s fooling who

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, la la la, la la la
Ooh, la la la, la la la

[Outro]
Smoke curls through the corridor
Hats tipped low, exit to encore
Silk and swagger shutting the door
A final nod, nothing more

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, la la la, la la la
Ooh, la la la, la la la
