"Magic At Midnight In Mel's Diner" lyrics - LUKE SPILLER

[Intro:]
One, two, three, four

Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
Stumbling in from cloak and dagger
His hand rests on the bench in the booth
While the other cradles her face
Pretending they're friends when they look just like lovers
From boardwalk bartenders to strangers on sunset
A black and white bygone blockbuster
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
On table night playing in color
She hides her leading lady smile
Behind the menu while she laughs
Coffee so sweet that the spoon stands in her cup
Their waitress tearing up her script while eavesdropping
And starts on our future bestseller

[Pre-Chorus:]
While the city's angels watch them from behind
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus:]
Oh, my, my
She hit me between the eyes
I was just enjoying the ride, the night
Sparks and static
Give me just a little more magic
Anything you want you can have, it's alright

Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
Under a spell, twenty-four hour
Holding her hand [2:13] at a dance
As the forty-five serenades
Gliding with grace in the twilight by the
While Cupid tries to park his car
But the valet's distracted
He's stoned but wishing he was higher, oh

[Pre-Chorus:]
While the moonlights as the sun rises for that time?
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus:]
Oh, my, my
She hit me between the eyes
I was just enjoying the ride, the night
Sparks and static
Give me just a little more magic
Anything you want you can have, it's alright

[Post-Chorus:]
Yeah
Alright, oh

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
The check's never paid
Now they're dancing like two thiefs
Racing down the street to the house of holies
Its neon sat and set fire
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner

[Instrumental break]

[Outro:]
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, yeah
