Harlequin Contraption

[Verse 1]
Hey! Do you hear me?
Don't act like you don't see me
Thirsting for a high behind the fickle lies
So don't be coy, there's whimsy to enjoy
Just block out all the noise
An offer to rejoice

Line up against the wall
And march in formation
Nothing less than your best
Or the cogs will spill red
Repeat your lines in diligent reply
When curtains come to rise
We'll open up the world's disguise

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a seat and brighten your face
Dearest carouser, why don't you stay for a change?
Let's throw it all away (Let's throw it all away)
Reborn upon the stage (Reborn upon the stage)
Be not afraid in fallen grace
Awake the vague and unexplained
And tell me what to say

[Chorus]
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Bump that beat and bob your head
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
No chance in breaking the attraction
Laughing till the encore's end
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Post-Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
My being bathed in candlelight
Reduce this crowd to sacrifice
Thine eternal paradise
Hey! Just keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Party till the night drops dead

[Verse 2]
Hey, come here, come astray
I think I know a way
To a wonderland getaway
And a birthday cabaret
Hey, chill out, don't get mad
I swear it's not a scam
Drop by now, right at five
I've got tea and candy delight
(Alright, now)

Line up against the wall and sing me your praises
Nothing less than your best, or it's off with your head
So don't be shy, come look me in the eye
By sunlight we'll rewrite the jester's lie

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a seat and brighten your face
Dearest carouser, why don't you stay for a change?
There's treats so sweet that your heart might bleed
As the audience gleefully weeps

[Bridge]
Forever in my wonderland, oh
("Forever in your wonderland")
Let's throw it all away (Let's throw it all away)
Reborn upon the stage (Reborn upon the stage)
Be not afraid in fallen grace
Awake the vague and unexplained
And tell me what to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption

[Chorus]
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Bump that beat and bob your head
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
No chance in breaking the attraction
Laughing till the encore's end
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Purge thy body and thy mind
My being bathed in candlelight
Seduce this soul in sacrifice
My eternal paradise

[Chorus]
Hey, just keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Party till the night drops dead

[Outro]
Ah
