Out Tonight
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"

It says, "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
I wanna put on a tight skirt
And flirt with a stranger"

I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up! Life's too quick I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too if you get in with me

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play? Let's run away
We won't be back before it's New Year's Day
Take me out tonight, meow

When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line
With the feline of Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight

In the evening I got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like like home
When the spanish babies cry

So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
Where all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon
Like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight

Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight
