V5

Title: Midnight in Satin Genre: Bossa Nova / Vintage Lounge Pop [Voice Tag]: [Female Narrator, Smoky Lounge Vocal] [Instrumental Tag]: [Light Bossa Guitar], [Muted Trumpet], [Brush Kit Drums], [Upright Bass], [Vintage Rhodes Piano] [Verse 1] Silk gloves, second skin Click of heels, I slip right in Under chandeliers and borrowed light All in lace and appetite [Verse 2] Smiles sharp as a thief’s delight Eyes like locks I long to fight Every mirror whispers grace But I’m just bluffing in satin and lace [Pre-Chorus] I wasn’t born to play the part But danger knows a beating heart [Chorus] Oh, I’m dancing through the doubt In heels too high to turn about Paris spins like a roulette wheel I fake the poise, but feel it real [Verse 3] Code words passed with cigarettes Secrets sung in silhouettes A twist of charm, a stolen key I’m learning how to not be me [Pre-Chorus] The night invites what day would hide With every risk, I come alive [Chorus] Oh, I’m dancing through the doubt In heels too high to turn about Paris spins like a roulette wheel I fake the poise, but feel it real [Bridge] Maybe I’m the bait, or maybe I’m the score But I've never wanted anything more [Big Finish] In midnight’s hush, I’ll make my play And vanish at the break of day [End] Beneath the moon, I’ll disappear But leave my heart entangled here
