Theatre Noir Lyrics - Singles - Robyn Cage

Welcome to Theatre Noir 

The Traveling Circus Sideshow 

Land of the Freaks, Home of the Depraved 

Welcome to Theatre Noir 

Nagina can charm any cobra 

Sabra can swallow any sword 

Masters of the Macabre! Gladiators of the Grotesque! 

Prodigies of all Perversions! 

And now Lydia, the Tattooed Lady, takes the stage 

A serpent wound 'round her neck 

Defiant roses decorate her arms, 

Flames lick their way up her legs 

With a proud full gaze she confronts her audience 

Welcome to Theatre Noir 

We take pride in our deformities 

Profit from your disgust 

Natural-born Monstrosities! Self-created Oddities! 

Morbid Curiosities! 

Next up, Young Aidan, raised in sheltered bliss 

In the unassailable Midwest 

The red carnival ticket was admission to a brave new world 

One look at lovely Lydia he could hardly see the ink 

He saw beauty beneath her branded skin 

Her eyes whispered to his soul within, 

They said "Welcome to Theatre Noir" 

Onward the caravan crawls 

With Aidan following after 

His lunatic obsession only grew with each rejection 

Welcome to Theatre Noir 

Backstage he proclaimed his love 

But Aidan was tragically rebuffed 

"We are all abominations, and without some aberration, 

You'll never be one of us" 

"I'll do anything" Aidan replied 

"I'd walk though fire to stay by your side" 

And that's precisely what he did 

His hair melted and his flesh dripped 

He rose like a phoenix from the smoking ash; thus was born the Smoldering Man 

Welcome to Theatre Noir 

Come see the Tattooed Lady, 

And at her side, the Smoldering Man 

The Legendary Lovers, so scandalous, so strange 

So twisted and taboo and so deliciously deranged 

Witness their wickedness, their pleasure and their pain 

And Welcome to Theatre Noir! 

We'll glorify your scars 

You'll be the Greatest Star! 

Yes, Welcome to Theatre Noir!
