One... two...
The city is sleeping under the rain.
And I am still awake... with my pain.
The neon sign outside my window blinks,
Like Morse code from a sinking ship of love.
I pour another drink and try to think,
Of something pure... like snow or stars above.
But all I see is this half-empty glass,
Reflecting shadows dancing on the wall.
This crazy party's over way too fast,
And I'm the only one who missed the fall.
My stockings have a ladder running down,
My lipstick shade is called "Forgotten Sin".
I'm wearing last year's glamour like a crown,
Just wondering how we let the darkness in.
Da-ba-da-doo-ba... Love went out of tune,
Ba-di-ba-dee-ba... vanished with the moon.
The melody we played turned into noise,
Destroying all our pretty little toys.
'CAUSE MIDNIGHT IN A BROKEN GLASS
IS JUST A MEMORY WE CAN'T ERASE.
WE WERE DANCING WAY TOO FAST,
LOOK AT THE LIPSTICK MARKS ON YOUR COLLAR'S LACE.
THIS SILK IS CHEAP, THIS PEARLS ARE FAKE,
THIS LOVE WAS NEVER MADE TO LAST.
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR US TO TAKE,
JUST MIDNIGHT IN A BROKEN GLASS.
(Mmm... just broken glass...)
Your cigarette is burning in the tray,
It smells like promises you never kept.
You said you'd take my loneliness away,
But you're the reason why I haven't slept.
The record player spins an old Cole Porter,
Singing about affairs that end in tears.
I used to be a star, now I'm a porter,
Carrying the luggage of these wasted years.
Don't offer me your hand to walk me home,
The bridge between us burned to ashes grey.
I'd rather sip this bitterness alone,
And watch the colors of the night decay.
Shoo-be-doo-wop... where did you go?
Ba-ba-ba-bop... things you'll never know.
The rhythm of our hearts skipped a few bars,
And left us driving someone else's cars.
'CAUSE MIDNIGHT IN A BROKEN GLASS
IS JUST A MEMORY WE CAN'T ERASE.
WE WERE DANCING WAY TOO FAST,
LOOK AT THE LIPSTICK MARKS ON YOUR COLLAR'S LACE.
THIS SILK IS CHEAP, THIS PEARLS ARE FAKE,
THIS LOVE WAS NEVER MADE TO LAST.
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR US TO TAKE,
JUST MIDNIGHT IN A BROKEN GLASS.
Maybe in another life, baby...
In a different key...
We wouldn't miss the harmony...
But tonight... it's just minor for me.
*(Возврат к основному темпу)*
Midnight... in a broken glass...
It's funny...
How expensive silence can be...
When you're drinking it alone.
Ice...
Night...
Fade out.
