"burlesque is dead" the headlines read, "remains unidentified on the bed"
"burlesque is dead" said cnn, "who buys that shit" is all i said
Murderbait but she ain't gonna quit born with that devil soul
Murderbait, she's living life to the tits let the rock-a-bye baby roll
Baby did a hootchy dance, the preacher came to call
He had her by the soul, she had him by the balls
Did you expect me, expect me to confess
Don't you get it yet? - burlesque ain't dead
Preacher said "burlesque is dead", it got quiet then
Baby walked up to the edge, looked in his eyes she said
Did you expect me, expect me to confess
Don't you get it yet? - burlesque ain't dead
"burlesque is dead" the headlines read, "remains unidentified on the bed"
"burlesque is dead" said cnn, "who buys that shit" is what i said
They call her murder-bait but she ain't gonna quit, born with that devil soul
Murder-bait and living life to the tits, let the rock-a-bye baby roll
Did you expect me, expect me to confess
Don't you get it yet? - burlesque ain't dead
