The Mayor's Game

[Verse] In a dimly-lit lounge where the neon lights play, A sultry beat matches steps that won't sway, I sip my martini, with secrets to keep, The mayor's last breath, I've sung him to sleep. [Verse 2] The detective leans in, with a glint in his eye, "Where were you at midnight?" he happens to pry, I bat my eyelashes, let out a sigh, "Would I harm the mayor? Oh darling, not I!" [Chorus] Hush now, sugar, let's twist and let's tango, In the shadows where nobody can go, I've got alibis spun like a silken thread, They'll never find out what I did to the dead. [Bridge] Evidence hidden in melodies grand, Nobody saw that knife in my hand, He played his last chord, paid the price for a lie, Now I'm the lone star in the midnight sky. [Verse 3] In this riddle of rhythm, I've nothing to fear, The echo of secrets still ringing so clear, I dance with my questions, all answers disguised, In jazz, no one ever gets scrutinized. [Chorus] Hush now, sugar, let's twist and let's tango, In the shadows where nobody can go, I've got alibis spun like a silken thread, They'll never find out what I did to the dead.
