Like a Luminous Girl

Saw you in the subway station
Shining with a strange light
Girl, you're like a weird vacation
How am I gonna make you mine?
Make you mine.
And I
Fell out on the street to write a love song
Your face stared out at me from an ad
On the bus stop wall
And I know
That you're fine
And that you're right
And the moonlight shines
Like a luminous girl tonight
Saw you in the Shipwreck Disco
Ghostly drifting 'cross the floor
Wondering just where could this go
And how to get you out the door
Out the door
Shining with the lights going strong.
Shining with the lights going strong.
Saw you in the morning sunshine
You sang Star Love in the Night
Fighting all the tears that came on
Squinting in the yellow light
The yellow light
And I met you at the station in Ronkonkoma
Sweetly resonating with the things you are
And I know
That you're fine
And that you're right
And the moonlight shines like a luminous girl tonight
Yeah, Jesus Christ's like a luminous girl tonight
