Raincloud Café (feat. Luke Shingler)
All around the city heaves and sighs
Twilight lingers, fades and dies
The sodium smoulders through the rising steam
With gasoline rainbows in a sidewalk stream
Creeping out into the tropical night
The neon sign is a drunk's delight
I can hear a toast to absent lovers
A soul of discretion yet to be discovered
A magical sunset another world away, and I'll be sinking into a stupor
A dream in a hill of coffee beans, dissolved in another sambuca
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
A shot of vodka and a slug of gin
The guys are getting loaded while the girls fall in
The fox and the hounds in a desperate chase
The walls are shaking to the sound of the bass
At the rear of the pack in a backless dress
there's a melancholy baby with a lot on her chest
She wonders if the rain is ever gonna pass
But we can look for sunshine in the bottom of a glass
Tropical moonlight another world away, and all we have is a mirror ball
With the Thunderbird and a vulgar herd and a long long way to fall, oh oh oh
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
Five in the morning and she's fading fast
Everybody needs a breather but the air won't last
Her fuse is burning out in this perpetual gloom
she's never going to make it to the powder room
Strong hands lift her from the floor
And he was taller than the bathroom door
He might have been the answer to a maiden's prayer
And now he's bought a ticket to the girl's despair
A magical sunrise another world away, and I'll be by the jukebox going for a song
Time to call home on the big white phone, while she's going down and he won't be long, oh
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
Twilight lingers, fades and dies
The sodium smoulders through the rising steam
With gasoline rainbows in a sidewalk stream
Creeping out into the tropical night
The neon sign is a drunk's delight
I can hear a toast to absent lovers
A soul of discretion yet to be discovered
A magical sunset another world away, and I'll be sinking into a stupor
A dream in a hill of coffee beans, dissolved in another sambuca
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count

At the Raincloud Café
Footsteps in but there's no way out
More lonely hearts than you could ever count
Double scotch and singled out
At the Raincloud Café
