Moonlighting Lyrics

Moonlighting lyrics

Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell
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 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 frighening
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 respray
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 'cos the disguise is a must
when they go missing 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 monthy check came in just right
if only
they knew they weren't giving it away
9:15 monday morning at the printing
works
the boss notices someone's not clocked in
and the water department
of the council offices has a message
that mrs. park's daughter is
missing
meanwhile the carlisle turnoff of the m6 motorway
drinking cold
black coffee eating hot cup cakes
she stares at him with his beard
unshaved
wonders at his powers of staying awake
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
