Midnight Velvet at the Haunted Bar

The candle smoke is curly

Like a rumor in the air

We came dressed in our midnight

With a little devil's flair

The bartender knows our names

But he never says too much

And every glass on the table

Has a memory to touch

Under red lights

We're dancing with the past tonight

Old ghosts in the corner

Sticking sharp and feeling light

We laugh like we've got nothing, but we keep it locked inside

This grown-up little haunted house where secrets come alive

You lean in with a smile that says you've done this all before

I trace the edge of danger like a fingertip on a door

Your shadow meets my shadow in the shimmer of the band

And the bassline keeps on prowling like a cat across the sand

Under red lights, we dance and work it past tonight

All the ghosts in the corners

Looking sharp and feeling right

We laugh like we've got nothing

But we keep it locked inside

In this grown up little haunted house

Where secrets come alive

Well now, who invited me midnight?

It came dressed to kill

There's a kiss in every silence, there's a dare in every glance

And the ones we left behind still know the steps to the stamps

If the mirror shows a stranger, let her stay and watch us play

I'll toast to all the heartbreaks that refuse to go away

Under red lights, we're dancing with the past tonight

Old ghosts in the corners looking sharp and feeling right

We laugh like they've got nothing, but we keep it lock inside

In this grown-up little haunted house where secrets come alive

So let the trumpet whisper

Let the piano paint the scene

We're all a little haunted in this velvet Halloween
