[Verse 1] They stacked the chairs on marble floors Gaslight flickers, winks, then fades Lillian’s laugh still haunts the doors Like cheap perfume and tabs unpaid The cracked mirror, with gold-leaf frame Reflects ghosts in evening dress Feathers, flasks, and fake-ass names All came in here to impress [Chorus] Last night at Lillian’s They poured one more for the band Every glass raised to a song Slipping right through our hands They say the times are changing Like they’re reading from a page But my heart’s still in that corner booth Living in the golden age [Verse 2] The piano’s shut, its teeth all sealed Keys gone silent, plays no more We downed our gin and tried to heal Along that cigarette stained bar They posted papers on the wall “Premises to be let,” in ink Over where we learned to fall And laugh it off with another drink [Chorus] Last night at Lillian’s They poured one more for the band Every glass raised to a song Slipping right through our hands They say the times are changing Like they’re reading from a page But my heart’s still in that corner booth Living in the golden age [Bridge] Where will all the broken hearts go When the bouncers lock the past outside (oh) Who’s gonna teach the midnight train How to swing, how to cry, how to glide [Chorus] Last night at Lillian’s We held on tight to the band Every note a farewell note Saying goodbye to something grand They said the times are changing As they doused the final flame But every blue note in my blood Still whispers Lillian’s name
