Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Red velvet seats, the crowd leans in slow
Spotlight flickers, something starts to glow
You take the stage with a whisper and wink
But I feel the chill, I don’t even blink

[Pre-Chorus]
You said “Yes, and…” like a lover’s tease
Every line dripping heat on a midnight breeze
But baby, your jokes come with shadows and sighs
There’s a ghost in your rhythm and fire in your lies

[Chorus]
You haunt me, like a punchline in the dark
I laugh, then I fall apart
Your voice echoes in the brick and gloom
Improvised love in a haunted room
Touch me with your phantom grace
Set me up, then vanish without a trace
You’re the spirit I can’t deny
Phantom of the punchline, making me cry… sexy

[Verse 2]
Curtain call kisses, you disappear
I’m left with lipstick and a taste of fear
Was it a bit, or a spell you cast?
I’m trapped in the sketch, can’t escape the past

[Pre-Chorus]
Your laugh was silk, your smirk was sin
But baby, nobody ever saw you walk in
They say you died with a joke on your tongue
But I swear you breathed when our scene had begun

[Chorus]
You haunt me, like a punchline in the dark
I laugh, then I fall apart
Your voice echoes in the brick and gloom
Improvised love in a haunted room
Touch me with your phantom grace
Set me up, then vanish without a trace
You’re the spirit I can’t deny
Phantom of the punchline, making me cry… sexy

[Bridge – Whispered, sensual]
Is this a game or eternal tease?
You’re the chill that brings me to my knees
Lights go out… and you pull me near
In this improv, only you I fear

[Final Chorus – Intensified]
You haunt me, like a punchline in the dark
I want you—but you break my heart
Your breath on my neck, your soul in bloom
Improvised lust in a haunted room
Wrap me in your velvet flame
Say my line, then forget my name
You’re the spirit I can’t deny
Phantom of the punchline, kiss me goodbye…

[Outro – Soft and smoky]
Yes… and I’ll see you in the next life.
