Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tonight
The moon is playing tricks again
I'm feeling seasick again
The whole world could just dissolve into a glass of water
[Verse 2]
I've been good
'Cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you?
It's her daylight that gets me through
[Verse 3]
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two-year-old who just wanted more
[Chorus]
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
[Verse 4]
Tonight
The moon's drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else gonna know
I'm wanting
[Verse 5]
Sunlight
Sunlight fills my room
It's sharp and it's clear
But nothing at all like the moon
[Verse 6]
It's okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
[Chorus]
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
[Verse 7]
Tonight
The moon is a mirror ball
Light flickers from across the hall
We'll catch the star when it falls
