The Night Belongs To Mona lyrics

Mona's become a child of the night 
When she goes out 
It's only for bare necessities 
She says she's had it up to here with light 
While the city sleeps 
That's when she comes alive 

Yes, the night belongs to Mona 
When she's dancing all alone 
Forty floors above the city 
CDs spinnin' 
AC hummin' 
Feelin' pretty 

Sometimes she'll call at some unholy hour 
She wants to talk 
All of this grim and funny stuff 
Then she'll go all quiet in her Chelsea tower 
And that' when we wait 
To see how the story ends 

'Cause the night belongs to Mona 
When she's dancing all alone 
Forty floors above the city 
CDs spinnin' 
AC hummin' 
Feelin' pretty 

Was it the fire downtown 
That turned her world around 
Was it some guy or lots of different things 
We all wonder where she's gone 
That sunny girl we used to know 
Now every night we get the Mona show 

Maybe it's good that she's above it all 
Things don't seem as dark 
When you're already dressed in black 
We try not to see the writing on the wall 
What happens tomorrow 

When the moonrays 
Get so bright 
When she rises 
Towards the starlight 
Miles above 
The city's heat 
Will she fall hard 
Or float softly to the street 

Tonight the night belongs to Mona 
When she's dancing all alone 
Forty floors above the city 
CDs spinnin' 
AC hummin' 
Feelin' pretty
