Name: Burlesque Queen
Duration: P00H03M49S
Description: This song is based on the film of the same title, about a stripper who dances until she suffers a miscarriage. In the song, I try to analyze that character, one who may seem like a goddess to some but she is just like anyone who goes home and has mouths to feed.

This song is based on the film of the same title, about a stripper who dances until she suffers a miscarriage. In the song, I try to analyze that character, one who may seem like a goddess to some but she is just like anyone who goes home and has mouths to feed.

lyrics

dancing underneath the lights
with the moon shining just outside
and their eyes infront of you
breath paused in anticipation
the power you hold in every strand
as you whip your hair across the land
roped in the palm of your hand
burlesque queen don't stop living
existing like a dancing sun
with every man as your prisoner
they don't know you're just a commoner
outside these walls
you go home just like anyone
to an open mouth, a hole in your pocket
you keep your heart
around your neck like a locket
so you can take it off
so you can take it off
they don't know you're just a commoner
outside these walls
you go home just like anyone
to an open mouth, a hole in your pocket
you keep your heart
around your neck like a locket
so you can take it off
so you can take it off
they don't know you're just a commoner
burlesque queen
don't stop dancing
