Chandelier Lyrics
[ZIDLER, sung / spoken]
Have you know the dreadful power of absinthe?
The green fairy makes every man a visionary
So drink, and rage and forget
Party girls, they don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will you learn?
You must push it down
You must push it do-o-own
I'm the one for a good time call
Phone's blowin' up ringin' your doorbell
You feel the love? You feel the lo-o-ove
[ZIDLER, (LA CHOCOLAT, ARABIA, BABY DOLL) & ALL]
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
Have you know the dreadful power of absinthe?
The green fairy makes every man a visionary
So drink, and rage and forget
Party girls, they don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will you learn?
You must push it down
You must push it do-o-own
I'm the one for a good time call
Phone's blowin' up ringin' your doorbell
You feel the love? You feel the lo-o-ove
[ZIDLER, (LA CHOCOLAT, ARABIA, BABY DOLL) & ALL]
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
[CHRISTIAN]
But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
[ZIDLER]
Keep his glass full until morning light
'Cos we're just holding on for tonight
[CHRISTIAN & (LA CHOCOLAT, ARABIA, BABY DOLL)]
Help me I'm holding on for dear life (I'm)
Won't look down won't open my eyes (Gonna swing)
Keep my glass full until morning light (From the chandelier)
'Cos I'm just holding on for tonight (From the chandelier)
On for tonight
[ALL]
On for tonight
On– on for tonight
[GREEN FAIRY, spoken]
Christian
[ALL]
On for tonight
On– on for tonight

But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
[ZIDLER]
Keep his glass full until morning light
'Cos we're just holding on for tonight
[CHRISTIAN & (LA CHOCOLAT, ARABIA, BABY DOLL)]
Help me I'm holding on for dear life (I'm)
Won't look down won't open my eyes (Gonna swing)
Keep my glass full until morning light (From the chandelier)
'Cos I'm just holding on for tonight (From the chandelier)
On for tonight

[ZIDLER, spoken]
We're creatures of the underworld
We can't afford to love
[ALL]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
We're creatures of the underworld
We can't afford to love
[ALL]
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

Christian retreats in frustration and drinks absinthe in excess, at one point imagining Satine as The Green Fairy
