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 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, 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, 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
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 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
