On a night like this
You look up at your lover
It's like you're in some old cartoon
Then you detect
The scent of faded roses
Up in the sky
There's that cruel countermoon
G9
Could that be murder you see in her eyes
Bm7 Bm7/F# f/Ab
You try a long and desperate kiss

You can't escape it
A7

Gotham shudders
C/F
There's a chill in the air

D7
Lovers all beware
Hand in hand
You walk along the river
You stop to clutch and caress
a countermoonbeam
Comes sweeping off the water
She says 'You're not my Jackie.
My Jackie was the best.'
G9
Spitewaves are threatening
The seaside hotels
Bm7 Bm7/F# f/Ab
It's nasty weather for July
G7
Last night you loved her
G9 A7
Tonight you wonder why
