Electric Heartbreak Riot

Watch the curtains fall tonight

Underneath the simulated stage light

We play our parts so

clean

In this tragic little cabaret scene

Take a breath

and count to ten

Here we go, back around again (whoa-oh-oh)

Paint the town in shades of black and red!

Every single word we never said!

We are the beautiful,

the dramatic, the loud!

Singing to the back of the theater crowd!

(yeah, yeah!)

Read the script, write your name in dust

In this grand design that we distrust

But the orchestra still plays

Through these fast, theatrical days

Take a breath and count to ten

Here we go,

back around again (whoa-oh-oh)

We won't go quietly

Into this tragedy (no,

we won't!)

Paint the town in shades of black and red!

Every single word we never said!

We are the beautiful,

the dramatic, the loud!

Singing to the back of the theater crowd!

Our final show... curtain drop (ahhhh)
