summary: we look into a bit of nadia's past.
nadia:'in a room as she was sleeping, she appeared to be passed out as someone was shaking her to wake her up'
???: nadia, wake up......nadia!.....NADIA!
someone slaps her chest and she sits up, she coughs up something white as her mascara and eyeshadow was smudged.
nadia: h-huh? boss? w-what happened?
boss: you passed out like you were a damn virgin! you did this multiple times and yet, you still pass out from exhaustion! pathetic, truly pathetic nadia!
he walks off and throws an outfit at nadia, she sighs and goes to her changing room.
nadia: i can do this.....
then it shows the boss preparing a set as nadia walks into the prop, a cage, she walks into the cage, it's too dark to see what she was wearing.
boss: you better make this show good and make me a lot of money.
nadia: yes sir.
boss: now go perform for your daddy, you better make me proud today and maybe, i'll give you a day off tomorrow.
nadia: yes sir.
the cage is lowered down as nadia is shown in her outfit.
nadia:'puts her hand on her heart'
A hooker with a heart of black charcoal.
she stands up as she move her body around in a seductive way.
nadia
I write poems to burn by firelight
Drink champagne and guzzle gin.
she grabs a glass of champagne and drinks it.
nadia:
Good girls call me "the town bicycle"
Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin.
it shows the image of asmodeous behind her, no one saw it of course, that was just for show.
nadia:
Oh, Claude, my pimp knows, never mess with me.
the boss rolls his eyes at nadia, knowing that she would be punished if she ever tried to pull a stunt on him, she tried once and that got her beaten.
nadia:
Last prick who did that faded quick to black
Oh, I have no idea where to find him, officers
But if you do, please mention that I'd like to have returned the pretty knife
That I stuck
Ten
Times
In
His
Back!
the image switches to nadia stabbing a man in his back before it goes back to her performing her show.
nadia:
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night.
it shows nadia sleeping with multiple men, either one every night or multiple men at the same time.
nadia:
My life's one never-ending carnival
A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light!
I want to be
That fucked up girl.
it shows a flashback to nadia with a man, he was talking to her as she blushes.
nadia:
He said, "I think I am in love with you."
I've heard that lie a million times before
Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy
Take love when you can, when you're a whore.
it shows the man assaulting nadia as tears fall down her face.
nadia:
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked up girl.
she lays down on the floor of the cage as she winks at a few men.
nadia:
So now I sell my love for opium
In some rat-infested Chinese dive
At night I burn myself with cigarettes
Just to somehow prove I'm still alive.
it shows nadia burning herself with multiple cigarettes, not caring at all that she was in pain.
nadia:
Eight months later, I catch typhoid flu
Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day
Dying in an ally, a priest kneels down to me-
it shows the image of a man behind her, a priest.
priest:
My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?
nadia:
Oui, Tell Him that, like Him, I choose to burn out, rather than fade away!
nadia snaps out of the small trance she was in as the boss was glaring at her.
nadia:
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night.
the images of hands appear on her body as nadia opens the cage, revealing herself to the men that were staring at her.
nadia:
My life's one never-ending carnival
A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never-ending carnival
A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that fucked up girl
I wanna be that fucked up...
Girl...
she sings the girl part for a very long time as other strippers sang other lyrics.
other strippers:
Broken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin
Teeth all stained with nicotine
Running nylons, shattered dreams
Super crusty, holy terror
Wild eyes and black mascara
Broken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin
Teeth all stained with nicotine
Running nylons, shattered dreams
Super crusty, holy terror
Wild eyes and black mascara.
then nadia jumps onto a platform as it floats up, she dances on the pole.
nadia:
If I could have just one dream...
other strippers:
If he could have just one dream...
nadia:
I'd be that fucked up girl!
other strippers:
Hey!
