Armand l'Enchanté - Silk and Brass Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In smoky clubs where brass meets skin
Where notes dance like lovers in sin
She played her part, I played mine
Two souls entwined in perfect time

[Chorus]
Silk and brass, what a dangerous game
Sweet perfume and whiskey flame
Tonight we swing, tomorrow we pay
While the band keeps playing anyway

[Verse 2]
Her fingers traced my music sheets
Professional smile, oh so sweet
But backstage when the lights grew dim
She found another rhythm to swim

[Bridge]
Oh, the show must go on
Even when love is gone
These melodies still remain
Like whispers through the rain

[Verse 3]
Now I lead the band with style and grace
While memories of her fade in this place
The saxophone cries what I can't say
As empty spaces drift away

[Chorus]
Silk and brass, what a dangerous game
Sweet perfume and whiskey flame
Tonight we swing, tomorrow we pay
While the band keeps playing anyway

[Outro]
So pour me one more glass of gin
Let the midnight rivals begin
'Cause darling when this tune is through
I'll still be standing, black and blue
In this world of silk and brass
Where broken hearts learn how to last
