Mood indigo A taste of breath A kiss sweeter than honey Your eyes a misty dream A million miles away And in my ear You whisper my name Just like in some old news flash From light-years ago Van Dykes 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 When I hear Mood indigo Could last for weeks Until I decide to wake up Before I break up Holdin’ on to my heart Smokin’ them downhills In a room number thirteen Tryin’ to stretch my luck again Down the corridor Your footsteps echo against the wall My date with mystery My 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
