Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade It only takes a moment, don't be afraid I can hot wire an ignition like some kind of star I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights And we drive into the night Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination And I picture myself in this different situation I'm a company director, two kids and a wife I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near Start ringing in my ear Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid form the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool She picks the kids up form some private school She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light And she drives into the night Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light They go form red to green and so I just drive into the night Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
