[Intro – distorted feedback, heavy drum kick]
Welcome to the circus in the dark
Watch me light the city with a spark
[Verse 1 – chugging guitar riff]
Pigtails dyed in candy pink and blue
I’ve got a special treat in store for you
Trading in my coat for a wooden bat
Tell me what you think of a girl like that
Smudged red lipstick and a wild-eyed stare
I’m the living image of your worst nightmare
[Chorus – explosive power chords]
I’m Gotham’s gorgeous little psycho now
Watch the whole world take a final bow
Breaking all the rules just for the fun
The carnival of madness has begun
Daddy’s little monster on the loose
Tightening the knot and the golden noose
[Verse 2 – driving bassline]
Diamonds on my neck and spikes on my wrist
Everything I touch gets a wicked twist
Laughter echoing through the alleyways
Lost inside the neon purple haze
I don’t need a hero to save my soul
I’m the one who’s finally in control
[Chorus – high energy]
I’m Gotham’s gorgeous little psycho now
Watch the whole world take a final bow
Breaking all the rules just for the fun
The carnival of madness has begun
Daddy’s little monster on the loose
Tightening the knot and the golden noose
[Bridge – half-time tempo, eerie vocals]
Once I had a name and a quiet life
Before I cut the world with a jagged knife
Now the voices scream and they call for more
Kicking down the hinges of the heavy door
[Interlude – shredding guitar solo]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Climax – maximum volume, crashing cymbals]
Swing the bat and watch the glass shatter
In this crazy world nothing else will matter
Dancing on the edge of the broken street
Making every moment feel so bittersweet
[Final Chorus – layered vocals, stadium sound]
I’m Gotham’s gorgeous little psycho now
Watch the whole world take a final bow
Breaking all the rules just for the fun
The carnival of madness has begun
Daddy’s little monster on the loose
Tightening the knot and the golden noose
[Outro – fading guitar, manic laughter]
Goodnight Gotham sleep with one eye wide
There’s nowhere left for you to run and hide
