Shadows in the Spotlight

[Verse] The clock strikes thirteen in the velvet haze A marionette's grin Her unholy ballet Wolves howl at curtains The moon on display The stage is alive And it’s hungry today [Prechorus] Spinning shadows Fractured glass Who’s the fool Who’s the mask [Chorus] Dance with me In the dark In the fright Spin until the morning eats the night Shadows in the spotlight Spinning wild Shadows in the spotlight Cursed and beguiled [Verse 2] Rats in the rafters They cheer from above A black lace waltz A grotesque kind of love The puppeteer’s strings snap like brittle old bones Yet the laughter persists in the phantom tones [Bridge] Red boots stomping The ground splits wide Laugh or scream There's nowhere to hide The ghost of a carnival whispers your name Twisted and tangled We’re all in the game [Chorus] Dance with me In the dark In the fright Spin until the morning eats the night Shadows in the spotlight Spinning wild Shadows in the spotlight Cursed and beguiled
