When voices through the thin walls Speak of aberrant behavior And the video's her only savior She turns it on when they're all gone And then she turns and slips her high heels on. Shadows fill the room and she starts moving. Voyeur, voyeur, are ya hot tonight? Dance, dance, dance till it makes you feel good. Voyeur, voyeur, who ya got tonight? Well, love is still alive, it's just locked up inside. Lingerie and loveliness Still looking for a strange and sweet caress. Her love life's hot but her life's a mess. She got no minor vices And she makes no excuses And she concedes that she's the one she pleases. Voyeur, voyeur, are ya hot tonight. Dance, dance, dance till it makes you feel good. Voyeur, voyeur, who ya got tonight? Well, love is still alive, it's just locked up inside. Voyeur, voyeur, are ya hot tonight? Dance, dance, dance till it makes you feel good. Voyeur, voyeur, who ya got tonight? Well, love is still alive, it's just locked up inside. Voyeur, voyeur, are ya hot tonight? Dance, dance, dance till it makes you feel good. Voyeur, voyeur, who ya got tonight? Well, love is still alive, it's just locked up inside.
