Take me out tonight
 
where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive
driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one
anymore
take me out tonight
because I want to see ''people''
and I want to see ''lights''
driving in your car
oh please don't drop me home
because it's not ''my'' home, it's ''their'' home
and I'm welcome no more
and if a double-decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side
such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
the pleasure and the privilege is mine
take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
and in the darkened underpass
I thought ''Oh, God, my chance has come at last''
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask)
take me out tonight
take me anywhere, I don't care
just driving in your car
I never want to go home
because I haven't got one
I haven't got one
