A taste of breath
A kiss sweater than honey
Your eyes in misty dream
A million miles away
And in my ear
You whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago
Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singing my favorite song
And it happen' to be Mood Indigo
Mood Indigo
I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for years weeks until I
Decide to wake up
Take off my make up
Holding on to my heart
Smokin' them downhill
In a room number thirteen
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor
Your footsteps echo against the wall
My man of mystery
My date with infinity
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice
For the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me
Like an old forgotten dream
Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singing my favorite song
And it happen' to be Mood Indigo
Mood Indigo
I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for years weeks until I
Decide to wake up
Completely lost in my Mood Indigo
