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
