[Verse 1] Velvet on the windows, smoke in the air Highball on the table, red leather chair Shadow on the ceiling from a swing-band light Lipstick like a secret in the dead of night Stockings with a back seam, rhythm in the lace Marble on the staircase, powdered face Gramophone crackle in a room so black Every little footstep echoes back [Pre-Chorus] Turn that dial till the trumpets sing Hear that clarinet twist and swing City in sepia, streets so slick Baby, we’re timeless, neon or brick [Chorus] I’m in that old fashioned black Silk gloves, brim low, never lookin’ back Move like a shadow through the smoke and brass 1930s heartbeat, hit the gas I’m in that old fashioned black Moonlight glass on a Cadillac Goth girl ghost in a swing-band track Future on the floor but we dress throwback [Verse 2] Newsboy papers, headline haze Speakeasy password, sideways gaze Gin in the teacup, smile off-kilter Eyes like a movie on silver filter Lace on the collar, coffin-cut heel Waltz ‘round danger like it’s no big deal Band on the wireless, crackle and pop Midnight glamour you can’t photoshop [Pre-Chorus] Turn that dial till the trumpets sing Hear that clarinet twist and swing Echoes of a ballroom, velvet and chrome Anywhere the bass hits feels like home [Chorus] I’m in that old fashioned black Silk gloves, brim low, never lookin’ back Move like a shadow through the smoke and brass 1930s heartbeat, hit the gas I’m in that old fashioned black Moonlight glass on a Cadillac Goth girl ghost in a swing-band track Future on the floor but we dress throwback [Bridge] Half-time heartbeat, sirens hum Clarinet screaming over kick and drum Radio ghosts in the breakdown night Swing in the left, in the right, strobe light Talkbox whisper in a haunted key "Dress in the dark, come dance with me" Past in the rearview, bass in the front Glamour in the graveyard, midnight stunt [Chorus] I’m in that old fashioned black Silk gloves, brim low, never lookin’ back Move like a shadow through the smoke and brass 1930s heartbeat, hit the gas I’m in that old fashioned black Moonlight glass on a Cadillac Goth girl ghost in a swing-band track Future on the floor but we dress throwback [Outro] Big band static in the stereo glow Old world drip in a new tempo Clarinet wails as the skyline cracks Drive through the decades dressed in black
