Dressed in shadow and lunar light
She floats down stairs like a ghost in the night
Crystal glasses, jazz in the hall
She smiles with a touch of withdrawal
Kisses her smoke like a piece of art
All of her is scene and silence
In the mirror’s old defiance [Chorus] Velvet & neon,
She’s dancing alone
Like an old movie
That’s faded and gone
She kisses danger,
Whispers unknown
Art Deco night,
Queen of the no [Verse 2] She talks of love like it’s something long dead
Perfume cries where her secrets are spread
Letters from lovers locked in a box
She hides the pain in champagne and talks [Pre-Chorus] No one knows where she came from
But they all want to waltz with the wrong one
She’s a secret that sings in the gloom
While the record spins out of tune [Chorus] Velvet & neon,
She’s dancing alone
Like an old movie
That’s faded and gone
She kisses danger,
Whispers unknown
Art Deco night,
Queen of the no [Bridge] She’s a golden tragedy
Moves in slow motion
Made of midnight and vacancy
But she feeds the emotion… [Final Chorus – softer] Velvet & neon,
She’s dancing alone
Like a falling star
In a summer unknown
In the dark she sings
This haunted tone:
“Don’t save me, love…
Just leave me alone.”
