Moonlighting Lyrics by Ardijah

Journey (Aere’anga)

0

[Verse 1]
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 onto his hand

[Pre-Chorus]
He whispers slowly, "Tonight's the night"
Months of planning, so it's gotta be right
Under the table, her bag is bursting at the seams
She made sure to bring everything

[Chorus]
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way, it's frightening
But it means they'll stay together
They're gonna make it together

[Verse 2]
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Montague Street
His friend Eddie, he did the re-spray
So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most the money that he had saved up
To pay Eddie's receipt
But he figures it's worth it, 'cause disguise is a must
When they go missing, they're gonna look for the van first

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, she whispers slowly, "It'll be alright
I took some cash from my building society
And my monthly check came in just right"
If only they knew they weren't giving it away

[Chorus]
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way, it's frightening
But it means they'll stay together
They're gonna make it together

[Verse 3]
Now, 8:15 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 the M6 Motorway
Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cupcakes
She stares at him with his beard unshaved
Wonders at his power of staying awake

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, he whispers slowly, "You did just fine"
They shared the driving all through the night
She laughs, "My mother would have lost her mind
We're only ten miles to Gretna
They're three hundred behind"

[Chorus]
Moonlighting
They're leaving everything
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends
Moonlighting
It's the only way, it's frightening
But it means they'll stay together
They're gonna make it together, yes

Moonlighting (Yeah)
They're leaving everything (They're leaving everything)
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends (Ooh, all their friends)
Moonlighting (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's the only way, it's frightening
But it means they'll stay

Moonlighting (Take care of them)
They're leaving everything (Take care of them)
Moonlighting
They're losing all their friends (Nana nana, all their friends)
Moonlighting (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's the only way, it's frightening
But it means they'll stay
