    I used to live live in a psychic city,
    I never knew what would happen in a day.
    I might be looking out the window
    And a friend might say,
    “Come on over over, come on over over,
    Come on over we’re having a party for you.
    Come on over over, come on over over,
    Come on over we’re having a party for you.”I used to live in a voodoo city,
    Where every little thing had it’s own secret life.
    I might be washing up the dishes
    And the kitchen might say,
    “Hang around baby baby, hang around baby baby,
    Hang around baby we’ll be baking a cake for you.
    Hang around baby baby, hang around baby baby,
    Hang around baby we’ll be baking a cake for you.”I used to live in a heartbeat city,
    I swear I’d fall in love every minute on the street.
    You might be walking around the corner
    And our eyes might meet.
    Where you been darling darling? Where you been darling darling?
    Where you been darling darling we’ve been holding this moment for you.
    Where you been darling darling? Where you been darling darling?
    Where you been darling darling we’ve been holding this moment for you.I told you your dreams would come true
    I told you your dreams would come true
    I told you your dreams would come true
    I told you your dreams would come true

    Passing by you light up my darkest skies
    You’ll take only seconds to draw me in
    So be mine and your innocence I will consume

    Dark shines
    Bringing me down
    Making my heart feel sore
    Because it’s good

    Hold your hands up to your eyes again
    Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
    So be mine and your innocence I will consume

    Dark shines
    Bringing me down
    Making my heart feel sore
    Because it’s good
    You’re dark shines
    Bringing me down
    Making my heart feel sore
    Because it’s good

    Dark shines
    Bringing me down
    Making my heart feel sore
    Because it’s good

    “Can I get you a drink, sir?” the bartender asks.

    Asuka spares the man behind the counter a glance.

    He has no face.

    Asuka visibly recoils. He checks his watch.

    11:59 p.m.

    He looks at the woman again, but she’s nowhere to be seen.

    The Devil sits in her place. He holds a lit cigarette between two fingers, and a tumbler of whiskey is in front of him. “Hello, little bird. It’s been a while”.

    Jimmy jumped onto his back, using his shoulders to climb up. Satan grunted when he got a foot in the side of his neck. He was about to tell Jimmy to get the fuck down before he hurt himself when he felt hands wrap around his horns.

    And he immediately melted into a puddle.

    Not literally of course, though he could do that too if he wanted. His horns were very sensitive, and the kid was tugging on them lightly.

    “Oh my god,” Jimmy whispered. “Are you purring?”

    Satan coughed roughly. “I’m not purring.”

    I really can’t stay (but baby, it’s cold outside)
    I’ve got to go away (but baby, it’s cold outside)

    This evening has been (been hoping that you’d drop in)
    So very nice (i’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice)

    My mother will start to worry (beautiful what’s your hurry?)
    My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)

    So really I’d better scurry (beautiful please don’t hurry)
    But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)

    The neighbors might think (baby, it’s bad out there)
    Say what’s in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)

    I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
    To break this spell (i’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

    I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
    At least I’m gonna say that I tried (what’s the sense in hurtin’ my pride?)

    I really can’t stay (oh baby don’t hold out)
    But baby, it’s cold outside

    I simply must go (but baby, it’s cold outside)
    The answer is no (but baby, it’s cold outside)

    Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
    So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)

    My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
    My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)

    My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
    But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)

    I’ve gotta get home(but baby, you’d freeze out there)
    Say lend me a coat(it’s up to your knees out there)

    You’ve really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
    But don’t you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)

    There’s bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
    At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)

    I really can’t stay (get over that old out)
    Baby, it’s cold
    Baby, it’s cold outside
