lyrics

You got a mean way about you but your heart is good
You like to mess up, mess up the neighborhood
You say come on, baby and we’ll take a ride
But I’ll wait to see you on the other side

When you come to me, dim your beams
And wrap yourself around me in the gauze of dreams
I’d go with you on your midnight ride
But I can only be your mistress ‘cause the moon’s your bride

You were born unlucky but you wear it well
And when you shine your smile no one can ever tell
You stay in all day although you wake at dawn
You might like dancing in the shadows but you’re no one’s pawn

When you come to me, dim your beams
And wrap yourself around me in the gauze of dreams
I’d go with you on your midnight ride
But I couldn’t be your mistress if I was your bride

You were born unlucky but you wear it well
And when you shine your smile, no one can ever tell
You stay in all day although you wake at dawn
You might like dancing in the shadows but you’re no one’s pawn

When you come to me, dim your beams
And wrap yourself around me in the gauze of dreams
I’ll go with you on your midnight ride
I couldn’t be your mistress if I was your bride

You say come on baby, and we’ll take a ride
But I’ll wait to see you on the other side
