♪
Late at night in summer heat
Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket
But this is my trade
It only takes a moment
Don't be afraid
I can hotwire 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
We flick on the lights
And we drive into the night
Oh, the smell of the leather
Always sides 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
That'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
♪
I imagine his wife
She don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up
From some private school
She remembers what he told her
He was late and worked too long
But there's more than a suspicion
In this lingering cologne
And the kids just won't be quiet
As she runs a traffic light
And she drives him mad
Please take me dancing tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
That'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 I am
In a stolen car
The traffic lights
They go from red to green
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
That'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
Please take me dancing tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
That'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
Please take me dancing tonight
I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could
That'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
