Parlour Magic - Limelight

You were out of your mind
And I heard you were back at the Limelight
Weren’t wasting your time
And I struggled next to you all night
Her name is Solina
Written on the wall
Trying not to give away too much
I never got there
Didn’t have the heart
Trying not to show you all my worst
But what do you cover up
Do you lie when you color up
Do you cry just to have some fun
When I’m around here?
Falling backwards in time
Falling backwards out of the spotlight
Seven ways to come down
As you travelled out of here by night
The lights come up
And times get tough
You wonder how you took too much
The lights come up
You’re out of luck
You blame it on the Limelight
You sat at the counter
You played the machines
Nobody who comes here ever leaves
I couldn’t focus
The thought would make me sick
This fluid neon origami trick
But why do you come undone
And she got fired from the Copa Club
For shooting looks from behind the bar
“You’re not from around here”
But why can’t I call her up
And did she smile on the cover of Italian Vogue in the early aughts
Before she moved out here
Bright spotlights stop flights from home
Getting old and we’re getting sold
Memories made as the days get cold
Living in another world
Tell me what’s been happening tonight
Though it hurts everything is alright
Baby’s got the light in her eyes
It’s the worst when you can’t shut the blinds
