lyrics

Listen close this one’s for you
who brought us here to be amused
who lit the moon above the roof
what kind of recluse tells the truth

were you the scotch that scared up romance
or just the girl who sold the programs
we charmed the anarchists to slow dance
if only for a precious moment

we laughed as you asked
that black cat on the path
“why is it you never call back?”
and I can’t remember it now
whatever happened late last night

whatever happened late last night
take your time and travel light
i can keep a secret
I heard your heartbeat beating
whatever happened late last night

I watched you close I know you noticed
you took us home with your hypnosis
you laughed at me and said my focus
is just as lonesome as a ghost is

before the morning’s slapstick antics
before the doors demanded answers
i saw you standing with a candle
at the bottom of a ladder

where the sun twirled the moon
over seaside sand dunes
many ghosts reappeared and passed by
but I can’t remember it now
whatever happened late last night

whatever happened late last night
take your time and travel light
i can keep a secret
I heard your heartbeat beating
whatever happened late last night

below the stars above the garden
beside the statue of the martyr
your father found the broken shards of
while out walking by the water
