Lyrics: We Live After Dark

Come through the curtain, leave daylight behind, The rules of the morning are no longer mine. The chandeliers shimmer, the saxophones cry, And nobody asks when the sun will rise. Pearls on her shoulders, gold in her hair, Smoke curling softly through perfume and air. The singer steps forward, the whole room goes still, Then she bends one blue note to the shape of her will. A flapper in silver climbs onto a chair, A woman in velvet throws champagne in the air. The drummer keeps laughing, the dancers draw near, There’s nothing outside us worth hearing in here. At the Gilded Club, we live after dark, With a glass in the hand and a fire in the heart. Let the piano roll, let the bright trumpets play, We’ll dance through the night till the night turns to day. At the Gilded Club, every woman is free, To sing what she wants and to kiss whom she pleases. No clocks on the walls, no end to the fun— Inside this club, the night’s never done. Two women are dancing beneath the gold light, Their fringe flying wild as they turn through the night. One whispers a promise, one answers with wine, Then they kiss on the floor while the band keeps the time. A heel full of champagne is raised like a cup, The whole velvet booth cries, “Fill it back up!” Feathers are falling, the tables all sway, And three laughing singers steal the chorus away. At the Gilded Club, we live after dark, With a glass in the hand and a fire in the heart. Let the piano roll, let the bright trumpets play, We’ll dance through the night till the night turns to day. At the Gilded Club, every woman is free, To sing what she wants and to kiss whom she pleases. No clocks on the walls, no end to the fun— Inside this club, the night’s never done. Outside there are duties, Outside there are names, Outside they keep records And measure our days. But here we are diamonds, Here we are flame, And when the doors close, We make our own game. So tighten your headband, Come take my hand, The singer is smiling, She’s counting the band— One, two, three! At the Gilded Club, we live after dark, With a glass in the hand and a fire in the heart. Let the piano roll, let the bright trumpets play, We’ll dance through the night till the night turns to day. At the Gilded Club, every woman is free, To sing what she wants and to kiss whom she pleases. No clocks on the walls, no end to the fun— Inside this club, the night’s never done. Who needs the morning? Nobody here! Who needs tomorrow? Bring us more cheer! When does the party end? It never does! Long live the night at the Gilded Club!
