Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)

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 hot-wire 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 excites 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 that 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 kids just won't be quiet as 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 I am

In a stolen car at a traffic light

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, 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

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

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
