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, its that cruel countermoon   Could that be murder you see in her eyes   You try a long and desperate kiss   You can't escape it, that beam is sure to find you      On a night like this the story is told   How the women get restless and the men grow cold   Gotham shudders, there's a chill in the air   There's a countermoon, 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 goes you're not my Jackie, my Jackie was the best   Spitewaves are threatening the seaside hotels   It's nasty weather for July   Last night you loved her, tonight you wonder why      On a night like this the story is told   How the women get restless and the men grow cold   Gotham shudders, there's a chill in the air   There's a countermoon, lovers all beware      At every pay phone, there's somebody cryin'   All the streets are slick with tears   When you see that blue ray   There's a heartquake on the way      On a night like this the story is told   How the women get restless and the men grow cold   Gotham shudders, there's a chill in the air   There's a countermoon, lovers all beware      On a night like this the story is told (story is told)   How the women get restless and the men grow cold   Gotham shudders, there's a chill in the air   There's a countermoon, lovers all beware
