The Hooters

The Hooters (frequently listed simply as "Hooters", without the definite article) are an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By combining a mix of rock and roll, reggae, ska and folk music, The Hooters first gained major commercial success in the United States in the mid 1980s due to heavy radio and MTV airplay of several songs including "All You Zombies", "Day by Day", "And We Danced" and "Where Do the Children Go". Their popularity resulted in the band opening the Philadelphia portion of the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985. more »

Engine's running hot, I'm running back to you 
Caught up in your trap and the secret things you do 
Headlight flashes bright, do you remember when 
We used to drive all night, well I'm coming back again 

You told me we live in the shadows 
You told me to hide from the light 
But the last thing you said keeps running through my head 
Just don't take my car out tonight 

Somewhere there's a place, a road without a sign 
I'm standing at the gate in a dream from out of time 
Your body brushes mine, I try to catch my breath 
You whisper in my ear, there's danger up ahead 

You told me we live in the shadows 
You told me to hide from the light 
But the last thing you said keeps running through my head 
Just don't take my car out tonight 

Headlight flashes bright, I watch you drive away 
The things we always feel are the things we never say 
My engine's running hot, gotta keep on pushing through 
I'm burning up inside, I'm burning up for you 

You told me we live in the shadows 
You told me to hide from the light 
But the last thing you said keeps running through my head 
Just don't take my car out tonight
