Lyrics
Light Up the Town
The dance floor moves, the air is thick with yesterday's smoke
The music grooves, a gold lame flashes by...teasing me, pleasing me
A drink or two the courage flares, I try for a line
So it's three AM when the light of the moon is a lovely shade
We'll open the morning cafes, canopied we will stay and talk of yesterdays
And then we'll
Light up the town, Light up the town, Light up the town
You know the score, we both want more, it's cool in our head
A racy past, a fast approach in your style, stealing me...killing me
It was three AM and the light of the moon was a lovely shade
We'd open the morning cafes, canopied we would stay and talk of yesterdays
And then we'll
Light up the town, Light up the Town, light up the Town
You know the score we both want more
Our love is fierce, a narcist tear in climax we wail
It's in the end whatever means, our needs will prevail
It was three AM and the light of the moon was a lovely shade
We'll open the morning cafes, canopied we will stay and talk of yesterdays
And then we'll
Light up the Town, light up the Town, light up the Town
