The desert's burnin' hot, the brass is blowin' low,

My shadow slips beneath the sand — watch the kingdoms go.

I don't need a crown, I've got somethin' better still —

A smile like venom drippin', and an iron, iron will.

chorus

Oh, I'm Blister! A viper in the dark,

Swing it with me — I'm dealin' all the cards!

Clever, clever — watch me spin the whole affair,

The queen of all the schemers with the midnight in my stare!

Oh, I'm Blister! Can't ya hear the big band roar?

I've been three moves ahead since long before the war!

verse 2

My sisters want the throne — I want the whole wide world,

While Burn shouts and Blaze weeps, my plans are tightly furled.

I read you like a scroll before you've said a word,

The most dangerous SandWing that the desert ever heard.

chorus

Oh, I'm Blister! A viper in the dark,

Swing it with me — I'm dealin' all the cards!

Clever, clever — watch me spin the whole affair,

The queen of all the schemers with the midnight in my stare!

bridge

I whisper: "Power isn't taken — it's arranged."

Every ally, every weakness, rearranged and rearranged.

Play your hand, but darling, I have already played the game —

And by the time you know my moves, nothing's ever quite the same.

outro

Oh yeah — I'm Blister, Blister…

Queen of the desert swing.

The desert's burnin' hot, the brass is blowin' low,

My shadow slips beneath the sand — watch the kingdoms go.

I don't need a crown, I've got somethin' better still —

A smile like venom drippin', and an iron, iron will.

Oh, I'm Blister! A viper in the dark,

Swing it with me — I'm dealin' all the cards!

Clever, clever — watch me spin the whole affair,

Oh, I'm Blister! Can't ya hear the big band roar?
