Here Comes the Night - Nick Gilder

After dark the shadow people walk

It’s another world

Playing Valentino, trying to get a kiss

From the trendy girl

It’s that lipstick game

Captured by a look from her x-ray eyes

She looked right through my best disguise

Drinking gin and tonic anything but shy

She took me by the hand, whispered with a sigh

I want you to stay, don’t go away

Here comes the night

Stay don’t be alone, so far from home

Here comes the night

Walking in the dark through the park

Where the lights are low

She took me by surprise with her x-ray eyes

They’re the kind that know

Touched by her affections what social dame

Should a known she was a player in the lipstick game
