This Night

take me out tonight
i still remember your tail lights
they were red
all the way to the highway

and uptown was alive until
uptown up and died
here we are dancing
and tripping over the ashtray

this night is like
so many
but i still
get a chill
when you ring me

yeah this night
flashes like a silver jenny
in the waves
like a promise
that you bring me

lights are on upstairs
i could go in but i stay there
listening
to the final draft of a mix tape

time will grind you down
and time won’t let you mess around
do you feel like dancing?
it’s getting dark and it’s Sunday

this night is like
so many
but i still
get a chill
when you ring me

yeah this night
flashes like an arcade penny
with the promise
of the lights and the sounds
well, you send me

yeah this night is like
so many
and i still
get a chill
when you ring me

oh yeah take me out tonight
