歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Meter's off, the light is dim Glass is filled up to the rim Three a.m. in F minor key Just the B3 and the ghost of me Shift is over, engine's cold Stories bought and stories sold [Verse] She stepped in from the neon glare Silver water in her hair Destination? Nowhere fast Shadows of a broken past Scent of jasmine, damp and sweet Resting tired, aching feet [Chorus] Rye is warm, the night is deep While the city is fast asleep She quoted lines from a dusty book With a distant, lonely, velvet look Then she vanished in the silver rain Leaving nothing but a phantom stain [Post-Chorus] Driving slow through the hollow light Searching for her in the night Rye and rain, a bitter blend Where the lonely alleys end [Verse] "Life is but a walking shade" That’s the bargain that we made Words like honey on her tongue Songs that never could be sung Paid the fare with a folded note Vanished like a paper boat [Solo] Doo-ba-dee, zut-da-zoot-da-zay Shoo-be-doo, let the music play Skap-da-ba, mellow and low Watch the amber liquid glow Bop-sha-wun, sliding through the beat Walking bass on a rainy street Da-da-da, mmm-hmm, okay Maybe I'll find her another day Skiddle-dat, where'd she go? Shoo-wop, I'll never know Ba-da-pum, the rhythm sighs Smoke is stinging in my eyes De-da-day, F minor blues Walking in my driver's shoes Zoot-da-zoot, the glass is dry Underneath a velvet sky [Bridge] The B3 hums a low-down tune Beneath a pale and paper moon I’m just a driver in a rusted cage Turning over every stained-up page Wondering if she was ever there Or just a trick of the midnight air [Chorus] Rye is warm, the night is deep While the city is fast asleep She quoted lines from a dusty book With a distant, lonely, velvet look Then she vanished in the silver rain Leaving nothing but a phantom stain [Outro]
