It's in a song called "we dreamt in heist" by anberlin. It's about the blackmarket. it goes "this is a blackmarket reformation, keep your lips closed and don't you ever give away our underground location.This is a black tie affair don't ever close your mouth ,we'll stay here untill someone falls in their own snare"

Usually a "black tie affair" is a very formal occasion where men are expected to wear tuxes and women formal gowns or cocktail dresses. Maybe the line refers to the small talk people usually engage in there, and hoping someone will let some information slip.
