[Verse 1]
Cathedral eyes felt so alive laid on the woman painted softly
The masters of Rome should have used her for a muse
And me I could have used just a little cup of coffee
She whispered a look, I could barely breathe a word

[Chorus]
I smoke in the moonlight to catch my breath
You scold me I'll catch my death of cold
You always imagined that I had something left
But I'm the only one you never told

[Verse 2]
Another barstool Houdini made you guess what to believe
When everyone was watching the illusion
But only you were looking up his sleeve
When she caught a glimpse from someone else's muse

[Chorus]
I smoke in the moonlight to catch my breath
You scold me I'll catch my death of cold
You always imagined that I had something left
But I'm the only one you never told

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The passions in the stained glass fell upon the masses
Thought he caught the corner of a vision
He used his Sunday shirt to clean off his glasses
His cathedral eyes retreated to the clouds

[Chorus]
I smoke in the moonlight to catch my breath
You scold me I'll catch my death of cold
You always imagined that I had something left
But I'm the only one you never told
