Moonlighting

He sees her at the same time every night at the Mexican discotheque

She gives him French kisses, he gives her French cigarettes

They sit at the same table every time, the lights are low but their eyes shine

Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands

She keeps him outta fights, holds onto his hand

He whispers slowly, tonight's the night

Months of planning, so it's gotta be right

Under the table, her bag is bursting at the seams

She made sure to bring everything

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting, it's the only way, it's frightening

But it means they'll stay together, they're gonna make it together

His blue Morris van is parked in an alley, just by Montague Street

His friend Eddie, he did the re-spray so he couldn't drive at all last week

And it cost most of the money that he had saved up

To pay Eddie's receipt

But he figures it's worth it 'cause disguise is a must

When they go missing, they're gonna look for the van first

Oh, she whispers slowly, it'll be all right

I took some cash from my building society

And my monthly check came in just right

If only they knew they weren't giving it away

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting, it's the only way, it's frightening

But it means they'll stay together, they're gonna make it together

Now at the thing Monday morning at the printing works

The boss notices someone's not clocked in

And the Water Department of the council offices left a message

That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing

Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff the M6 Motorway

Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cupcakes

She stares at him with his beard unshaved

Wonders at his power of staying awake

Ooh, he whispers slowly, you did just fine

They shared the driving all through the night

She laughs, my mother will have lost her mind

We're only ten miles to Gretna, they're three hundred behind

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting, it's the only way, it's frightening

But it means they'll stay together, they're gonna make it together

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything (Yeah, they're leaving everything)

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends (Ooh, all their friends)

Moonlighting, it's the only way, it's frightening

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's frightening)

But it means they'll stay

Moonlighting, they're leaving everything (Together, together)

Moonlighting, they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting, it's the only way, it's frightening

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's frightening)

But it means they'll stay
