Whispers in the Green Room Video (MV)

[Verse 1]
In the dim light of the green room's haze
Where the smoke swirls like old Parisian days
Watching you tune up with such grace
While I'm fighting for my rightful place
These cats all think they own the stage
But honey, I've got more than just my age

[Chorus]
Whispers in the green room tonight
Everyone's smile's a little too bright
Playing it cool, but ready to fight
For that sweet spotlight
Oh, that damn spotlight

[Verse 2]
Henri taught me all the rules to break
While Sophie showed me hearts can fake
Now I'm standing here in my old man's shoes
Watching young bloods pay their dues
With their sharp suits and sharper tongues
Man, we were just like them when we were young

[Bridge]
The trumpet's crying out my pain
While the bass line drives me insane
These cats can play, I'll give 'em that
But they ain't lived enough to swing like that

[Verse 3]
South Sea rhythms in my blood
Mix with jazz like a midnight flood
They say I'm smooth, they say I'm cool
But backstage baby, I'm nobody's fool
Every handshake holds a lie
Every compliment's got venom inside

[Chorus]
Whispers in the green room tonight
Everyone's smile's a little too bright
Playing it cool, but ready to fight
For that sweet spotlight
Oh, that damn spotlight

[Outro]
The stage door's calling, it's time to go
Put on that face that they all know
Another night of playing the game
In this smoky hall of jazz and fame
Where every note's a double-cross
And every winner means someone's loss
