Track Insight / Lyrics
Vince's café, opens at dawn, my reprieve
From the streets, my second home, where Rome's secrets sleep
I grab a booth, sip a shot, relive the night's afterglow
Before the lights come on, the city's ready to show
I'm a trenchcoat private eye, solving mysteries by day
But in the shadows, when the sun's on its way
I hunt the city's hidden hearts, its ghosts and its dreams
With a cigarette and a mystery novel for my tea
In cobblestone squares, where night's veil still clings
I find my hour of freedom, when the world's on different strings
No cases, no clients, just the night and my thoughts
A lone wanderer in darkness, with the Rome I've never sought
Then I hear a siren, a melody so divine
A short skirt, red heels clicking, it's a lover's crime
The darkness melts away, I'm drawn into the light
A night shift siren, an enchantress of the Rome night
Her laughter echoes through the empty streets, an invitation for me
I follow the trail, caught in her melody
We dance under the moon, our shadows play on stone
In whispers, hearts speak truths, that only belong to Rome
In cobblestone squares, where night's veil still clings
I find my hour of freedom, when the world's on different strings
No cases, no clients, just the night and my thoughts
A lone wanderer in darkness, with the Rome I've never sought
Then I hear a siren, a melody so divine
A short skirt, red heels clicking, it's a lover's crime
The darkness melts away, I'm drawn into the light
A night shift siren, an enchantress of the Rome night
Perhaps it's fate, perhaps it's lust, or maybe just its charm
But I'm chiming in her rhythm, a perfect homicide alarm
In the city of ancient shadows, a modern tale unfolds
Of a lone investigator, and a night shift siren to hold
Then I hear a siren, a melody so divine
A short skirt, red heels clicking, it's a lover's crime
The darkness melts away, I'm drawn into the light
A night shift siren, an enchantress of the Rome night
As dawn approaches, and the night grows old
Our secrets remain unspoken, the siren's tale untold
I leave her in the shadows, with a promise in my eyes
Until the next time, when the darkness hushes the skies
