[Intro]
Dim lights and velvet curtains sway
Another night to play this game
Behind these walls, we hide away
Two stars who share the same last name
[Verse 1]
Smooth as bourbon, sharp as brass
Dancing 'round each other's past
You lead the band with such finesse
While I stand here in my pressed success
Every note's a memory
Of what we had, what used to be
[Chorus]
In this backstage waltz we play
Three steps forward, then away
Like smoke rings in a cabaret
Darling, what else can I say?
We're just two cats in the night
Making music, but not quite right
[Verse 2]
Remember Paris in the spring?
When you wore my favorite ring
Now we share these crowded halls
Trading glances, protocol
Your lipstick's perfect, hair divine
Like aged and dangerous red wine
[Bridge]
The spotlight splits us into two
Your solo flight, my rendezvous
With empty stages, empty rooms
And memories of old perfume
[Chorus]
In this backstage waltz we spin
Through the places we have been
The band plays on, we fake a grin
Knowing where we might have been
We're just two cats in the night
Making music, but not quite right
[Outro]
The curtain falls, the crowd's away
Another show, another day
In this dance we'll always stay
Till the band stops, anyway
Sweet dreams, my dear, it's been divine
This backstage waltz of yours and mine
