Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)

Late at night, in summer heat

Expensive car, empty street

There's a wire in my jacket for this is my trade

It only takes a moment, don't be afraid

I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star

Just a poor boy in a rich man's car

So I whisper to the engine and flick on the lights

And we drive into the night

Oh, the smell of the leather always excites my imagination

And I picture myself in this different situations

I'm a company director, two kids and a wife

I get the feelin' that there's more to this one's life

There's some kind of complication,t 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 ringin' in my ear

Please, take me dancin' 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 dancin'

Please, take me dancin' tonight

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool

She picks the kids up from 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 dancin' 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 dancin'

Please, take me dancin' tonight

So here I am

In a stolen car at a traffic light

They go from red to green

So I just drive into the night (drive her)

Please, take me dancin' 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 dancin'

Please, take me dancin' tonight

Please, take me dancin' 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 dancin'

Please, take me dancin' tonight

Please, take me dancin' 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 dancin'

Please, take me dancin' tonight
