“Midnight in the Painted Room

Verse I
Velvet shadows on the wall,
Glass chandeliers about to fall.
Pink light dancing on my skin,
Feels like a secret pulling me in.

Pre-Chorus
Books are whispering, keys are sighing,
Every doll’s glass eye is spying.
I hear a rhythm in the floor,
I want to know, I want some more.

Chorus
Midnight in the painted room,
Where the stars and colors bloom.
Magic humming in the air,
I spin around, it’s everywhere.
Oh, midnight—take me soon,
Underneath this purple moon.

Verse II
Piano glowing, plays itself,
Old clocks laughing from the shelf.
Curtains breathing deep and slow,
Outside, the ocean starts to glow.

Bridge (funky groove with blues guitar)
Step to the rhythm, sway with the tide,
Lose all your fear on the other side.
A child’s dream or a woman’s song,
This kind of night can’t last too long.

Chorus (bigger, bluesy inflection)
Midnight in the painted room,
Where the stars and colors bloom.
Magic humming in the air,
I spin around, it’s everywhere.
Oh, midnight—take me soon,
Beneath the glow of that purple moon.

Outro (jazzy fade, whispered scat-style)
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop…
The lights keep singing…
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop…
The room keeps swinging…
Ohhh, midnight in the painted room…
