The Night Belongs To Mona Lyrics - Morph The Cat - Fagen Donald

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
