lyrics

It's a smokey afternoon.
She walks by in an evening dress
That's made of roses and wine,
Spun from wool of the darkest night.

Was it all planned, this coincidental rendezvous,
Or is it insolent fate that forces me to you?
Come around from that table of high stakes roulette,
Because now's your chance to prove that you're a safe bet.

In the misty mauve of casino light,
You look at me like the price is right.
Come on, come on, come on,
Who do you think you're fooling tonight?
In the morning, when you see the light,
I'll be out of sight.

In the dingy hotel room, she unveils in the misty mauve, behind her glitter and glam, a sense of maimed and contradicted suave.
Artificial light illuminates our 8 ball dance, while her superficial love fuels our fake romance.
And while I haven't determined this to be, quite yet,
I'm guessing this investment is a loosing bet.

In the misty mauve of casino light,
You look at me like the price is right.
Come on, come on, come on,
Who do you think you're fooling tonight?
In the morning, when you see the light,
I'll be out of sight.

In the misty mauve of casino light,
You look at me like the price is right.
Come on, come on, come on,
Who do you think you're fooling tonight?
In the morning, when you see the light,
I'll be out of this...

Misty mauve, where the time is ripe to pick your addictions and waste your life.
The sun never sets on a casino night,
But by morning when you see the light, I'll be out of sight.

The Whereabouts California

At a time when rock’n’roll has become an ironic term, and bands have been replaced by wannabe celebrities whose live appearances are scripted marketing events, The Whereabouts want to remind you what rock music was all about in the first place: Not an onramp to Hollywood, but a road trip to wherever we end up. ... more
