"Harlequin Contraption" lyrics
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
Take a seat and brighten your face
Dearest carouser, why don't you stay for a change?
Let's throw it all away
Reborn upon the stage
Be not afraid in fallen grace
Awake the vague and unexplained
And tell me what to say
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Bump that beat
And bob your head
No chance in
Breaking the attraction
Laughing till the encore's end
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
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
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
Forever in my wonderland, oh
("Forever in your wonderland")
Let's throw it all away
Reborn upon the stage
Be not afraid in fallen grace
Awake the vague and unexplained
And tell me what to say
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Bump that beat
And bob your head
No chance in
Breaking the attraction
Laughing till the encore's end
Purge thy body and thy mind
My being bathed in candlelight
Seduce this soul in sacrifice
My eternal paradise
Hey!
Just keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Party till the night drops dead
Ah!
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
Take a seat and brighten your face
Dearest carouser, why don't you stay for a change?
Let's throw it all away
Reborn upon the stage
Be not afraid in fallen grace
Awake the vague and unexplained
And tell me what to say
Keep dancin'
Harlequin contraption
Bump that beat
And bob your head
No chance in
Breaking the attraction
Laughing till the encore's end
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
Hey, come here
Come astray

Hey, chill out, don't get mad
