Lyrics
Verse 1
Midnight on the avenue
People moving in a silver haze
I saw you turn and slip on through
A doorway made of golden days
Heard your laughter in the street
Felt the rhythm pull me to the floor
Every step a brand new beat
Honey you can't close that door
Pre-Chorus
Oh the feeling's running wild
Got my heart out on the line
Chorus
Not the way it is
Not the way it is tonight
Not the way it is
Baby you and I take flight
Post-Chorus
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Verse 2
Satin dresses and slow cigarettes
Spin me 'round 'til I forget my name
String section singing silhouettes
I'm a gambler in your sweet flame
Take my hand across the parquet floor
Sweat and honey on the summer air
One more dance and I want more
Darling tell me that you care
Pre-Chorus
Oh the feeling's running wild
Got my heart out on the line
Chorus
Not the way it is
Not the way it is tonight
Not the way it is
Baby you and I take flight
Post-Chorus
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Bridge
And if the morning comes too soon
We'll chase it down the avenue
Always you
Always you
Chorus
Not the way it is
Not the way it is tonight
Not the way it is
Baby you and I take flight
Post-Chorus
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
