Lyrics
[carnival instrumental]
[Intro]
Uh, yeah
He’s cloaked in mystery, a siren in the night
With a laugh that lures you into false delight
Ha, ha, yeah
[Verse 1]
Slips into the scene, charisma floods the room,
Fancy steps, spinning webs, perfumed gloom.
Laughter's the mask where the darkest tales are spun,
(0:00 - 0:33)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I see the calculation behind those sultry eyes,
Honeyed lies, perfect disguise, so cleverly he pries.
[Chorus]
Balatro, Balatro, whisper secrets soft and low,
Lost in his masquerade, too mesmerized to know.
Balatro, Balatro, feel his breath upon your skin,
With each caress, he’s closer to slipping under your skin.
[Verse 2]
A flicker, a smile, a misdirected gaze,
Look deeper, darling, past the smoky haze.
Mirrors crack, revealing what lies beneath,
Each whispered promise sheathed within a sheath.
His laughter fills the night, a melody so profound,
But beware, his serenade is meant to confound.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and it’s a dive deep into his enigmatic soul,
He’s in control, the perfect role, he's swallowed whole.
He blurs what’s real and fantasy in his nightly quest,
[Chorus]
Balatro, Balatro, whisper secrets soft and low,
Lost in his masquerade, too mesmerized to know.
Balatro, Balatro, feel his breath upon your skin,
With each caress, he’s closer to slipping under your skin.
[Bridge]
Step into the limelight, let his game unfold,
In his embrace, the warmth turns cold.
But remember, the jester wears a crown of thorns,
In his embrace, the truest heart is torn.
[Breakdown]
Feel the thrill, the chill, as the crowd’s roar fades away,
A king of deceit, cloaked in the allure of the play.
Don’t be swayed by the mask, the laughter, the charm,
In his world of illusions, he means you harm.
[Chorus]
Balatro, Balatro, whisper secrets soft and low,
Lost in his masquerade, too mesmerized to know.
Balatro, Balatro, feel his breath upon your skin,
With each caress, he’s closer to slipping under your skin.
[Outro]
Uh, yeah, step into his world, a dance of light and shade,
He’ll make you swoon, in his arms you'll fade,
Just remember, as you succumb to his ring,
He’s the Balatro, the master of the enticing sting.
