Track Insight / Lyrics
Brass and steel, a lone sentinel
Gazing down from its perch, vigilant
Streets of jazz and smoky smoke rings
Whispers of the night, secrets it clings
Tempos quicken in the waiting room
Heartbeats racing like the crowd's perfume
Messy hair and kiss-me lips aglow
A siren's call for the night to show
Oh Chicago, queen of the shadows' reign
Where midnight magic and danger align
I'm the key, a keeper of secrets told
Watching over Chicago, never growing old
The El rumbles, a lonely lonely sound
While couples sway, drinks spinning round
Clever fingers pick those ivories low
In the basement, jazz and potions flow
Tempos quicken in the waiting room
Heartbeats racing like the crowd's perfume
Messy hair and kiss-me lips aglow
A siren's call for the night to show
Oh Chicago, queen of the shadows' reign
Where midnight magic and danger align
I'm the key, a keeper of secrets told
Watching over Chicago, never growing old
We're restless dreamers, chasing fleeting thrills
In this city's thrall, where nights spill into still
Where every street holds stories untold
And the shadows watch over, young and old
Oh Chicago, queen of the shadows' reign
Where midnight magic and danger align
I'm the key, a keeper of secrets told
Watching over Chicago, never growing old
As dawn arrives, the city breathes
The night's keeper nods, its task release
Brass and steel, a job well done
Watches over Chicago, as a new day's sun.
