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

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

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

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

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

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

She’s a golden tragedy

Moves in slow motion

Made of midnight and vacancy

But she feeds the emotion…

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.”
