Calm those vowels down
No one's thinking of you right now
She's dressed up, it's her duty to the town
It's empty, it's vast but it imposes it's will
In a crowded room
Her painted features smothered in the groom
Already resigned at night
She strips away the face that she creates the mirror sighs
Why can't we always meet under a cloud of mystery?
The noise from a hundred miles working through memories
Big budget, showbiz exit, she'll go far
Acting coy was her favorite ploy
It quickly loses its charm
The frosted cheek you turned will add to your mystique
He burns for you
I threw myself into your world only to come up short
Why can't we always meet under a cloud of mystery?
The noise traveled a hundred miles working through memories
Kept for a Thursday afternoon before the time when you withdrew
Why can't we always meet under a cloud of mystery?
Bathroom lights start the evening where the buildings skim the air
Hairspray curls push the cheek as they swoon on a wooden dance floor
There's nothing worse than taking a chance on an outdated dance
Why can't we always meet under a cloud of mystery?
The noise traveled a hundred miles cursing through memories
Kept for a Thursday afternoon before the time when you withdrew
Why can't we always meet under a cloud of mystery?
