Alone in the crowd lights, shoulders collide
(Shoulders collide)
Endless sidewalk rivers, nowhere to hide
The wind whispers secrets through telephone wires
(Telephone wires)

How many times have I smiled and said
Nice to meet you with a heart of lead?
(Heart of lead)

But tonight
(Tonight!)
The disco ball spins my tears to gold
(Tears to gold)
Oh tonight
(Tonight)
I'll dance with shadows from stories untold!

Stiff office smiles melt in the rain
(In the rain)
A stray cat sings our old refrain
(Old refrain)

(Why does)
The cruelest wall crumble so easy?
(So easy)
When kindness hides behind sharp suits
(Sharp suits)

But tonight
(Tonight! Oh!)
The mirrorball cracks, but I don't care
(Don't care)
'Cause tonight
(Tonight)
My loneliness wears sequins and dares to flare!

(Sequin heart)
