Sting Stolen Car Lyrics

Stolen Car Lyrics

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
hotwire 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 excited 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 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 its, what you said on the phone
I'm just a
prisoner of love always hid form 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 form 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 kid's just won't be quiet and 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 am I in
a stolen car at a traffic light
They go form red to green and 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
