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 on to his hand
he whispers slowly andquot;tonightand's the nightandquot;
months of planning so itand's gotta be right
under the table her bag is busting at the seams
she made sure to bring everything
Moonlighting theyand're leaving everything
moonlighting theyand're losing all their friends
moonlighting itand's the only way
itand's frighening but it means theyand'll stay
together theyand're gonna make it together
His blue morris van is parked in an alley
just by montague street
his friend eddie he did the respray
so he couldnand't drive it all last week
and it cost most of the money
that he had saved up
to pay eddieand's receipt
but he figures itand's worth it
and'cos the disguise is a must
when they go missing
theyand're gonna look for the van first
she whispers slowly andquot;itand'll be alrightandquot;
i took some cash from my building society
and my monthy check came in just right
if only they knew they werenand't giving it away
9:15 monday morning at the printing works
the boss notices someoneand's not clocked in
and the water department
of the council offices has a message
that mrs. parkand's daughter is missing
meanwhile the carlisle turnoff of the m6 motorway
drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakes
she stares at him with his beard unshaved
wonders at his powers of staying awake
he whispers slowly andquot;you did just fineandquot;
they shared the driving all through the night
she laughs andquot;my mother will have lost her mind
weand're only ten miles to gretna
theyand're three hundred behind
