[You know the alley with the green bottle and the brue brue bottle, no not brue, that's not a colour,
blue, no no that's blue that's what it was, blue is what it is,
then there's, but you can't tell because it's so dark out, it's like indistinct,
let's say 16th between Valencia and Guerrero that little street there,
like that sort of alley street and they've those like sort of weird yellow mercury vapour lamps and everything
and everything looks green it's like that ??? the alley where the bums piss all the time
and everything and everybody's got that dream thing,
that's sort of ??? a fat ??? lady, that's what I mean]
Well she don't act cool and she don't go hot and cold
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
Well she laughs if she wants the way you do when you're five years old
And she loves them faded colours of the dark just like I do
She rocks she swings she delights in the faded things
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
She laughs, she delights, she delights in the faded late night colours of the dark, when we were walking home
Just like I do, just like I do
She don't go cool, not coy like a femme fatale
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
Well she's not the perfume, she's the breeze she's the natural
And she loves them faded colours of the dark
Just like I do
She rocks she swings she delights in the faded late night things
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow

She laughs, she delights, she delights in the faded colours of the dark
Just like I do, just like I do
She's my partner in a way I've never had a partner before
I'm not alone at the 4 am part of night time anymore
Her mystery is not the kind you get from eye shadow
It's more the kind of mystery you get just cause you love life, you know, honestly
She rocks she swings she delights in the faded things
She delights in decay and things of the night
Like I do
Her mystery is not of high heels and eye shadow
She loves the faded times of 4 am
Like I do
She rocks she swings she delights in decaying old things of the world
Like Barcelona like the tragic part of town
4 am you know, well
Her mystery is not of high heels and eye shadow
She loves the dark part of the world
Like I do
Well I know her in a way that I've never quite known before
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
Well she closes the bars??? ??? 3 or 4

Just like I do
She rocks she swings she delights in the faded things
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
