[Intro]
Lipstick knife fight
Under bathroom lights
Lipstick knife fight
Everybody bleeds tonight

[Verse]
Mirror cracked open like a mouth full of lies
Girls in black lace with venom eyes
Somebody whispered I was moving too fast
Somebody prayed that my glory wouldn’t last

I fixed my mascara with a cigarette burn
Said every little scar is a lesson I learned
They wanted me pretty, wanted me tame
But pretty gets buried when the wolves play games

[Pre-Chorus]
Red mouth
Cold smile
High heels
Street trial

[Chorus]
It’s a lipstick knife fight
Kiss me like a crime
Lipstick knife fight
Dancing on the line
Love bites hard and fame cuts deep
No sweet dreams on the Strip this week
Lipstick knife fight
I’m still alive tonight

[Verse]
A blonde with a razor and a Hollywood laugh
Said my name was a shadow that would never last
She pushed me hard by the backstage door
I came back louder than before

The crowd heard the rumble, the guitars screamed
I turned every insult into gasoline
By the second chorus they were singing my name
And every jealous heart went up in flames

[Pre-Chorus]
Red mouth
Cold smile
High heels
Street trial

[Chorus]
It’s a lipstick knife fight
Kiss me like a crime
Lipstick knife fight
Dancing on the line
Love bites hard and fame cuts deep
No sweet dreams on the Strip this week
Lipstick knife fight
I’m still alive tonight

[Instrumental]
Dirty guitar solo
Floor toms pounding
Gang vocals rising
Lipstick knife fight

[Bridge]
I’m not here to be your poster
I’m not here to be your pet
I’m the scar across your memory
The queen you can’t forget

I’m not here to play your angel
I’m not here to beg for light
I brought thunder in my lipstick
And a blade inside my bite

[Breakdown]
Kiss
Cut
Laugh
Bleed
Want
Take
Rule
Lead

[Build-up]
Turn the lights on
Let them see
Every wound belongs to me
Turn the mic up
Let it bite
Roxanne wins the knife fight

[Chorus]
It’s a lipstick knife fight
Kiss me like a crime
Lipstick knife fight
Dancing on the line
Love bites hard and fame cuts deep
No sweet dreams on the Strip this week
Lipstick knife fight
I’m still alive tonight

[Chorus]
Lipstick knife fight
Glitter on the blade
Lipstick knife fight
No one walks away
Love bites hard and fame cuts deep
No sweet dreams on the Strip this week
Lipstick knife fight
I’m still alive tonight

[Outro]
Lipstick knife fight
Under bathroom lights
Lipstick knife fight
I’m still alive tonight
