Robyn Cage - Theatre Noir lyrics

Welcome to Theatre Noir The Traveling Circus Sideshow Land of the Freaks, Home of the Depraved Welcome to Theatre Noir Nagina can charm any cobra Sabra can swallow any sword Masters of the Macabre! Gladiators of the Grotesque! Prodigies of all Perversions! And now Lydia, the Tattooed Lady, takes the stage A serpent wound ‘round her neck Defiant roses decorate her arms, Flames lick their way up her legs With a proud full gaze she confronts her audience Welcome to Theatre Noir We take pride in our deformities Profit from your disgust Natural-born Monstrosities! Self-created Oddities! Morbid Curiosities! Next up, Young Aidan, raised in sheltered bliss In the una**ailable Midwest The red carnival ticket was admission to a brave new world One look at lovely Lydia he could hardly see the ink He saw beauty beneath her branded skin Her eyes whispered to his soul within, They said “Welcome to Theatre Noir” Onward the caravan crawls With Aidan following after His lunatic obsession only grew with each rejection Welcome to Theatre Noir Backstage he proclaimed his love But Aidan was tragically rebuffed “We are all abominations, and without some aberration, You’ll never be one of us” “I’ll do anything” Aidan replied “I’d walk though fire to stay by your side” And that’s precisely what he did His hair melted and his flesh dripped He rose like a phoenix from the smoking ash; thus was born the Smoldering Man Welcome to Theatre Noir Come see the Tattooed Lady, And at her side, the Smoldering Man The Legendary Lovers, so scandalous, so strange So twisted and taboo and so deliciously deranged Witness their wickedness, their pleasure and their pain And Welcome to Theatre Noir! We’ll glorify your scars You’ll be the Greatest Star! Yes, Welcome to Theatre Noir!
