(Ooh) (Ooh—ah) Shimmering… shimmering… Neon rain on the boulevard, I taste the thunder in the air City’s got a hundred mouths, but none of them are saying “care” I keep my secrets in my sleeves, stitched up tight in silver thread Smile for every camera flash, then hear the silence in my head And I’m floating two inches off the ground When the lights go down, do you hear that sound? We’re shimmering, shimmering— Like a star that won’t sit still We’re glittering, quivering— On the edge of what is real Hold me close, don’t look too deep Say you love the make-believe We’re shimmering, shimmering— And the night won’t let us leave Cherry smoke and velvet heat, I dance like I’m made of glass Every touch is electricity, every kiss a question mark They want a spark, I give a fire, I make a halo out of sin But when the mirror calls my name, I don’t know who I’m looking in We draw constellations on the ceiling lines (Ceiling lines…) Tell ourselves the stars are ours to define (To define…) We’re shimmering, shimmering— Like a star that won’t sit still We’re glittering, quivering— On the edge of what is real Hold me close, don’t look too deep Say you love the make-believe We’re shimmering, shimmering— And the night won’t let us leave Shimmer-shimmer— If you blink, we disappear Shimmer-shimmer— If you stay, we’re always here I’ve got a heart under sequins, beating Morse code through the bass A universe behind my lipstick, hidden in a borrowed face If the truth is just a doorway, I keep pacing in the hall ’Cause the moment that it opens, I might lose it—might lose it all Luxe: Don’t make me choose between the dream and the damage Skye: Don’t let the crowd be the only thing that knows how to hold us We’re shimmering, shimmering— Like a star that won’t sit still We’re glittering, quivering— On the edge of what is real Hold me close, don’t look too deep Say you love the make-believe We’re shimmering, shimmering— Till the morning breaks the seal Shimmering… shimmering… We’re still here… we’re still here… Shimmering… shimmering… (We’re still here…)
