What’s That Look For?

(Chicken Dog) Music by John Scofield

Lyrics by Holly Holmes

Walkin’ in thru the back door, and I shut it tight

Turn off the lights in each room,

Something doesn’t look right

Sleep is the dreamer’s canvas, An enchanted flight

Beautiful dreamer, wake up, Not if I can help it

 

For the light of the devil moon is in your eye

And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?

 

The silence of night can hide us from prying eyes

Closer to dusk I’ll find you, dancing with the shadows

You’re the king of subtlety, the king of dry

But there’s more behind it, I’ll have to dig a little deeper

For the light of the devil moon is in your eye

And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?

 

Why don’t you step inside, dear, and stay awhile

Well, the moon is rising, and my heart is racing

I think I can see you, in a different light

I can almost feel you, when you look right through me

For the light of the devil moon is in your eye

And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?
