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 diggin' the music from those sweet soul bands

She keeps him out of fights, holds on to his hand

He whispers slowly, "Tonight's the night"

Months of planning, so it's gotta be right

Under the table, her bag is busting 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 it 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 the disguise is a must

When they go missin' they're gonna look for the van first

She whispers slowly, "It'll be alright"

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

Nine fifteen Monday morning at the printing works

The boss notices someone's not clocked in

And the water department

Of the council offices have a message

That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing

Meanwhile the Carlisle turn off the M6 motorway

Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cup cakes

She stares at him with his beard unshaved

Wonders at his power of stayin' awake

He whispers slowly, "You did just fine"

They shared the drivin' all through the night

She laughs, "My mother would 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

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
