Misty Mauve - The Whereabouts

It’s a smoky afternoon

She walks by in an evening dress

Made of roses and wine

Spun from wool of the darkest night

Was it all planned, this coincidental rendezvous?

Or is it insolent fate that forces me to you?

Come around from that table of high stakes roulette

'Cause now’s your chance to prove that you’re a safe bet

In the misty mauve of casino light

You look at me like the price is right

Come on, come on, come on

Who do you think you’re fooling tonight?

In the morning when you see the light

I’ll be out of sight

In the dingy hotel room

She unveils in the misty mauve

Behind her glitter and glam

A sense of maimed and contradicted suave

Artificial light illuminates our eight ball dance

While her superficial love fuels our fake romance

And while I haven’t determined this to be quite yet

I’m guessing this investment is a losing bet

In the misty mauve of casino light

You look at me like the price is right

Come on, come on, come on

Who do you think you’re fooling tonight?

In the morning when you see the light

I’ll be out of

Whoa

Oooh

Whoa

Oooh

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Here we go

In the misty mauve of casino light

You look at me like the price is right

Come on, come on, come on

Who do you think you’re fooling tonight?

In the morning when you see the light

I’ll be out of this

Misty mauve where the time is ripe

To pick your addictions and waste your life

The sun never sets on a casino night

But by morning when you see the light

I’ll be out of sight
