[Moonlight city]
[Intro – soft synths, slow beat, whispered vox]
(Whispers)
City of lights… city of lies...
Where the moon don’t sleep, and neither do I...
[Verse 1]
Cracked champagne on marble floors,
Golden saints behind locked doors.
She kissed me once, said “Time stands still,”
But baby, in this town, the clocks kill.
Mirrors smoke, and silence sings,
A thousand stories behind gold rings.
Heaven’s got rules—we broke them all.
Now the angels won’t return my calls.
[Pre-Chorus – builds, huge moment]
Ooooooh Moooonlight!
You got me twisted, got me high—
One kiss and I forget why.
Ooooooh Moooonlight!
Dressed in danger, dipped in gold,
I sold my soul to break the mold.
[Chorus – drums drop, full vocals]
Welcome to Moonlight City,
Where stars are born then burn out pretty.
The night is long, the truth is fake,
We trade our dreams for what’s at stake.
Diamonds cry and shadows grin—
Tell me, love, what did you sin?
Moonlight City’s watching, sweetie,
You don’t leave. You fade discreetly.
[Verse 2 – new visuals, deeper descent]
A ring of smoke, a velvet rope,
A prayer in pearls, a kiss of hope.
They dress in pain, pretend it’s lace,
Paint their pasts on flawless face.
Every corner tells a lie,
Every rooftop scrapes the sky.
And in the silence after dark,
You’ll hear the city steal your heart.
[Pre-Chorus – repeat with even more power]
Ooooooh Moooonlight!
You got me twisted, got me high—
One kiss and I forget why.
Ooooooh Moooonlight!
Dressed in danger, dipped in gold,
I sold my soul to break the mold.
[Chorus – layered harmonies, big production]
Welcome to Moonlight City,
Where secrets dance and ghosts look pretty.
The lights are loud, the touch is cold,
We pay in youth, we sell our soul.
No escape, no morning pity—
You don’t survive Moonlight City.
[Bridge – spoken word over string swell]
I came for love. I stayed for lust.
I lost my name, I broke my trust.
And now I laugh, and now I bleed—
A hollow girl with hollow needs.
[Breakdown – whispered echo + soft “Oooooh Moonlight…”]
(Like a prayer… like a curse… like a crown…)
Ooooooh Moooonlight…
[Final Chorus – full instrumentation, belted vocals]
Moonlight City, take me home,
If home’s a place where sinners roam.
Dressed in silver, kissed by fear,
I lost myself to disappear.
Don’t look back, don’t pray for pity—
We don’t get out of Moonlight City.
[Outro – heartbeat fading, one last breathy line]
(Whispers)
The moon never sets here…
Only you do.
Oooooooh moonlight city!
