One, two, three, four
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
Stumbling in from cloak and dagger
His hand rests on the bench in the booth
While the other cradles her face
Pretending they're friends when they look just like lovers
From boardwalk bartenders to strangers on sunset
A black and white bygone blockbuster
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
On table night playing in color
She hides her leading lady smile
Behind the menu while she laughs
Coffee so sweet that the spoon stands in her cup
Their waitress tearing up her script while eavesdropping
And starts on our future bestseller
While the city's angels watch them from behind
Oh-oh-oh
Oh, my, my
She hit me between the eyes
I was just enjoying the ride, the night
Sparks and static
Give me just a little more magic
Anything you want you can have, it's alright
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
Under a spell, twenty-four hour
Holding her hand he dares at the dance
As the forty-five serenades
Gliding with grace, intertwined right by the ball
While Cupid tries to park his car
But the valet's distracted
He's stoned but wishing he was higher, oh
While the moonlights as the Sun rises for that time?
Oh-oh-oh
Oh, my, my
She hit me between the eyes
I was just enjoying the ride, the night
Sparks and static
Give me just a little more magic
Anything you want you can have, it's alright
Yeah
Alright, oh
The check's never paid
Now they're dancing like two thieves
Racing down the street to the house of holies
Its neon sign sat and set fire
Magic at midnight in Mel's Diner
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Oh, yeah
