Like a Luminous Girl - Mike Doughty

Saw you in the subway station

Shining with a strange light

Girl, you’re like a weird vacation

How am I gonna make you mine?

Make you mine

Uh, then I fell out on the streets to write a love song

Face stared out at me from an ad on a bus stop wall

And I know that you’re fine and that you’re right

And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight

Saw you in the shipwreck disco

Ghostly drifting 'cross the floor

Wondering just where can this go

And how to get you out the door

Out the door

Uh, then I fell out on the streets to write a love song

Face stared out at me from an ad upon a bus stop wall

And I know that you’re fine and that you’re right

And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight

That’s right

Shining with the lights going strong

Ah

Shining with the lights going stro-o-ong

Saw you in the morning sunshine

You sang «Star Love» in the night

Fighting all the tears that came on

Squinting in the yellow light

The yellow light

Then I met you at the station in Ronkonkoma

Sweetly leaving with the things you are

Then I know that you’re fine and that you’re right

Then the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight

Yeah, Jesus Christ, like a luminous girl tonight

Yeah, the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
