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
