Ella's in the back, trying to relax counting out her stack of sweaty bills she's got one more curtain call one more sassy line it's almost quittin' time but not until one more dance just one more dance one more chardonnay, oh baby one more dance just one more dance and she's gonna leave the Velvet Cabaret Oh la la la la la She wants to open up a French Cafe Her mother was a singer, Ella was a dancer they both worked at the theatre to pay the bills she left for good at 16, cause mamma couldn't get clean moved into the city it was such a thrill they called her "Elle Encore" cause every night she packed that house and had em' beggin for more and after twenty years on tour she wants to settle at her own cafe She says I'll open on the corner of Cranberry Street I'll have paintings on the ceiling and comfortable seats I'll serve the best biscotti and cafe au latte and the purple sign will say "Welcome to Ella's cafe"

Siren Song 04:28
you run such a tight ship got everything under control and it's been smooth sailing so far but you know any moment she might call out for you with her siren song you can't resist for long oooo oooo crash into me oooo oooo crash into me my love my love my love I can't let you go no Well I've been waiting on the shore looking to the horizon my heart is sinking to the ocean floor cause I know she got you she got you again with her all alone now in the darkness now she's got you in sight such a different man on the land yes the ocean brings you to live anticipation waves are breaking I turn my back to the sea now she's got you now you're sinking but you call out for me

Angel Face 04:26
painted promises on your golden lips I believe the all oh you feel so warm in between my hips feels so good to fall Angel face you're such a clever one you use your angel face to hide your devil tongue why don't you take me take me take me away oh take me take me take me away take me away Lie upon me block out the light lie to me say you're mine when we see the sun break apart the night let's turn down all the blinds bright distraction blinding passion make me forget my lost lover swallow me whole I need to let him go and your kiss will erase him from my lips

Gypsy of NYC (free) 03:49
She prowls through the streets like a hungry alley cat with a vintage guitar and a flower in her hat she's Gypsy of New york city Love is her religion and freedom is her reason she has four coats so she can blend in with the seasons she's Gypsy of New york city oh she's beautiful but she ain't pretty She sings lalalalal let yourself go let your hair down let yourself go life is beautiful She likes to serenade the crowds as they shove into the trains and find broken umbrellas on the streets after it rains oh gypsy of new york city and when you're running late for work she might ask you to dance and if you're sitting on the fence she makes you want to take a chance oh gypsy of new york city oh she's beautiful but she ain't pretty She hasn't a care in the world brushes her hair with the wind she sings smooth as a pearl and laughs louder than a thousand women her eyes are glowing with life from the fire in her soul you hear her sing through the night she makes you want to let go

Wildcard 03:48
Enchanting laughing ruby lips are my disguise confident magnetic hips are my disguise I only deal the parts of me that I want you to see the rest is in the deck the ace is hidden up my sleeve I choose my suit and I play the part I keep you chasing my my my wildcard I choose my suit and I play the part I keep you chasing my my my wildcard I keep my fears and feelings to myself and hide my darker side up on that crowded shelf from afar you see a queen dressed in majestic gowns a closer look would show the badly rusted broken crown Keep on chasing keep on chasing keep on chasing my my my wildcard keep on chasing keep on chasing keep on chasing my my my wildcard

about

Maria Rose & The Swiss Kicks are an intense sultry pop trio from Flint, Michigan. Bold and vivacious.. Impassioned, gritty and unexpected.. like whiskey in your bubble bath, lightning striking a rose bush, fireworks at the opera.
Their sound compares to that of Florence + The Machine, Fiona Apple and Muse.
Armed with powerful vocals, galvanizing percussion, and mischevious synths their sultry live performances have been winning over fans and generating a buzz since the release of their debut album, "New Direction", December 2011.
