A taste of breath, a kiss sweeter than honey 
Your eyes a misty dream, a million miles away 
And in my ear, y ou whisper my name 
Just like in some old news flash 
From light years ago 

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone  
through the smoke of the party room 
Your teeth like the Ivory Coast 
start singin’ my favorite song 
And it happen' to be mood indigo 

Mood indigo,   
I just go weak, w hen I hear Mood indigo 
Could last for weeks, u ntil I decide to wake up 
Before I break up 

Holdin’ on to my heart, s mokin’ them down hills 
In a room number thirteen, t ryin’ to stretch my luck again 
Down the corridor, y our footsteps echo against the wall 
My date with mystery, m y girl from Sin City 
Tonight I’m gonna sacrifice, for the first time in my life 
Make it all come back to me, like an old forgotten dream
