[Verse 1]
Strange reflections in a shop window pane
Cigarette laughter curling in the rain
Crimson velvet trailing over wet stone
Faint perfume lingers where secrets are sown

[Pre-Chorus]
Smoky promises collide
Painted faces never cry
Footsteps echo out of sight
Hearts rehearsing for the night

[Chorus]
Something's stirring down on Avenue Green
Silk and silver, a flicker unseen
People watching, moving in time
Midnight motions cross a tenuous line

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, drifting away
Oh oh, drifting away

[Verse 2]
Waiting for a limousine from yesterday's rain
Shadow on a collar, traces remain
Lights break the moment with a slippery glance
Tongue-tied lovers caught in someone's trance

[Pre-Chorus]
Every look, every sigh
Feels a little strange tonight
Sliding shadows in our eyes
Quiet secrets never lie

[Chorus]
Something's stirring down on Avenue Green
Silk and silver, a flicker unseen
People watching, moving in time
Midnight motions cross a tenuous line

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, drifting away
Oh oh, drifting away

[Bridge]
Spilled gin pooling in marble halls
Whispered confessions staining the walls
Glimpses of freedom sharp as broken glass
Gold-threaded warnings woven in the past

[Chorus]
Something's stirring down on Avenue Green
Silk and silver, a flicker unseen
People watching, moving in time
Midnight motions cross a tenuous line

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, drifting away
Oh oh, drifting away
