Like a Luminous Girl Songtext

von Mike Doughty

Saw you in the subway station
Shining with a strange light
Girl, you're like a weird vacation
How am I gonna make you mine?
Make you mine

Uh, then I fell out on the streets to write a love song
Face stared out at me from an ad on a bus stop wall
And I know that you're fine and that you're right
And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight

Saw you in the shipwreck disco
Ghostly drifting 'cross the floor
Wondering just where can this go
And how to get you out the door
Out the door

Uh, then I fell out on the streets to write a love song
Face stared out at me from an ad upon a bus stop wall
And I know that you're fine and that you're right
And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
That's right

Shining with the lights going strong
Ah
Shining with the lights going stro-o-ong

Saw you in the morning sunshine
You sang Star Love in the night
Fighting all the tears that came on
Squinting in the yellow light
The yellow light

Then I met you at the station in Ronkonkoma
Sweetly leaving with the things you are
Then I know that you're fine and that you're right
Then the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, Jesus Christ, like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
