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
(Pre-Chorus)
Glassy eyes, a satin heart
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.”
