Al Stewart - Mondo Sinistro lyrics

I take my troubles on a Friday night To the heart of the bistro Among the shadows and the low low lights I can find a release-o My favorite waitress will be here tonight I love the way she wears those fishnet tights She's so hard to resist-o In this mondo sinistro She picks a menu up and throws it my way With a flick of her wrist-o I'm sitting hoping that the night might take A romantic twist-o I order chicken and a chilled chablis She brings me grapefruit and a cup of tea She's a little Mephisto In this mondo sinistro I say I really love her dark brown eyes And the way that they tease-o I tell her every time she pa**es by I grow weak in the knees-o I ask her would she like to come and play She blows my candle out and walks away I just cease to exist-o In this mondo sinistro
