But It's Better If You Do
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
As she sheds her skin on stage
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, but I'm afraid that I
Well, I may have faked it and
I wouldn't be caught dead dead dead dead in this place
Well I'm afraid that I
Well that's right
That I may have faked it and
I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Well I'm afraid that I
Well, I may have faked it and
I wouldn't be caught dead dead dead dead in this place
Well I'm afraid that I
Well that's right
That I may have faked it and
I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety

According to Ryan Ross, it is "a song about being in a strip club but not actually liking being in there. So I wanted it to be about the sort of complex inner-monologue. It's not completely fiction, though. It's based on a scenario when I was going through a breakup with a girl.

It's not completely fiction, though. It's based on a scenario when I was going through a breakup with a girl. Because in reality, I don't like strip clubs. I think they're kinda perverted." Ross went on to say, "When I wrote it, I never thought about it being played in strip clubs. But I guess it would be kind of a change from what they usually play in there", he said. "It would be a surreal experience, for sure. I think the tempo is too fast, though. So maybe someone would have to do a chopped-and-screwed version or something."

Now I'm of consenting age
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
Somewhere downtown
Where a burlesque queen
May even ask my name
As she sheds her skin on stage
I'm seated and sweating to
A dance song on the club's P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between
Dignified sips of his dignified
Peach and lime daiquiri
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Oh, oh well I'm afraid that I
Well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead
D-dead, d-dead, d-dead in this place
Well I'm afraid that I
Well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me?

And paying in naivety

One, two, three
One, two, three
Well I'm afraid that I
Well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead
D-dead, d-dead, d-dead in this place
Well I'm afraid that I
Well that's right, well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know

And paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh
is
After everyone got arrested the strip club got emptied.
After Brendon served his time in jail he went back to an empty club and looks about and saw the same stage he performed on.
He sang death of a bachelor, this was his choice of song because on that night he got arrested it was the death of him and his lifestyle was like a bachelors.
His song was based of his ex wife. After she left jail she travelled away and found a new family. He was left alone after that.
