about

Music & lyrics by Angie Louise

lyrics

Have you ever been invited to a party?
Well, not invited, but you showed up anyway
And it sucked you in like a tide of sin
All that glitters and all that's gay
Oh my true love, oh my true love
I loved you, but I didn't catch your name
All the feathers, all the masks
All the whiskey in my glass
And a morning filled with shame

Tra la la la
And the flame burned higher
And wasn't it you I saw?
Lying with me in the gutter
Your body smeared with butter
Wearing just a mustache and a bra?
Tra la, tra la
And you can call me liar
And shame me with my big faux pas
Well, it was ashes, ashes,
ashes on Wednesday
But I swear that it was love on Mardi Gras

I made so many friends, I was so popular
Who cares about the money that I spent?
But now I'm sick as hell
And full of funny smells
And I've given up my dignity for Lent
I feel so blue, I don't know what to do
It was everything my mother warned me of
But now my heart lies here, so I'll come again next year
To find my own true love

Tra la la la / And the flame burned higher
And wasn't it you I saw?
Lying with me in the gutter
Your body smeared with butter
Wearing just a mustache and a bra?
Tra la, tra la / And you can call me liar
And shame me with my big faux pas
Well, it was ashes, ashes,
ashes on Wednesday
But I swear that it was love on Mardi Gras

And you can call me liar
And shame me with my big faux pas
Well, it was ashes, ashes
It was ashes, ashes
Oh it was ashes, ashes - ashes on Wednesday...
But love on Mardi Gras
Tra la, tra la

"Irresistible.. A deliciously dark carnival."
-Seattle Magazine

"Ruffle-clad ruffians...Angie Louise is a singer- songwriter with fearsome chops."
