Midnight in Monte Carlo

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Softer than the sea breeze

Verse 1

Velvet shoes on marble tiles

Glass reflects her quiet smiles

Diamonds dripping off her wrist

Turning every single head in this humid mist

She moves like smoke across the baize

Catching every stray and heavy gaze

Silver chips are stacked so high

Touching the moon up in the sky

Chorus

Baccarat and bitter gin

Watch her let the velvet game begin

Lady Luck is in the room

Heavy perfume is her bloom

In the shadows of the vault

Not a single word is worth a salt

Gold and silk and high-heeled pride

Nowhere for a losing heart to hide

Chorus

Baccarat and bitter gin

Watch her let the velvet game begin

Lady Luck is in the room

Heavy perfume is her bloom

In the shadows of the vault

Not a single word is worth a salt

Gold and silk and high-heeled pride

Nowhere for a losing heart to hide

Bridge

Raise the stakes

Take the risk

Sweep the table

Fast and brisk

Place your bets

Hold your breath

Lose your life or find a death

Verse 2

Riveira nights are long and deep

Secrets that the salty water keep

Fever in her narrow eyes

Counting cards and spinning lies

Waiters pouring champagne cold and dry

Looking for a reason not to sigh

Red or black or something more

Leaving shadows on the ballroom floor

Chorus

Baccarat and bitter gin

Watch her let the velvet game begin

Lady Luck is in the room

Heavy perfume is her bloom

In the shadows of the vault

Not a single word is worth a salt

Gold and silk and high-heeled pride

Nowhere for a losing heart to hide

Chorus

Baccarat and bitter gin

Watch her let the velvet game begin

Lady Luck is in the room

Heavy perfume is her bloom

In the shadows of the vault

Not a single word is worth a salt

Gold and silk and high-heeled pride

Nowhere for a losing heart to hide
