Boomtown Rats Tonight Lyrics

Tonight Lyrics

Oh, I don't wanna have to take your arm

But I will, said I will

Don't wanna have to damage anyone

But I'd kill, kiss and kill

I don't intend to take this lying down

With my head between my hands, no

I don't intend to copy any bird

That keeps it's head stuck in the sand, oh



You scratch my back

And maybe I'll claw yours

You understand being used

And if you feel a little itchy now

You won't mind being abused



Tonight...the towers crumble

Tonight...the mountains fall

Tonight...no one stumbles

Tonight...no one stalls

Scratch you tonight



You don't wanna have to spill those beans

but you will, I said you will

You got the numbers and the papers here

And you will, kiss and spill

You check me out and then you reel me in

Oh you check and you reel real fine

You're slummin' now with all those friends you got

You've been slumming in the slime



You scratch my back

And maybe I'll claw yours

You understand being used

And if you feel a little itchy now

You won't mind being abused



Tonight...the towers crumble

Tonight...the mountain falls

Tonight...no one tumbles

Tonight...no one calls

Scratch you tonight



We're itchin' tonight, scratch you tonight

All right, all right, you want me tonight, yeah

Want me tonight, all right, all right

Do it tonight, sit tight

Fool me tonight, yeah yeah



Tonight...the towers crumble

Tonight...the mountains fall

Tonight...I heard you fumble

Tonight...the motor stalls

Tongiht, tonight, tonight, tonight
