Moonlighting

He sees her at the same time every night
The lights are low but their eyes shine
Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands
She keeps him out of fights, holds on to his hands
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
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
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley
Just by Montague Street
His friend Eddie, he did the respray
So he couldn't drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money that he had saved up
To pay Eddie's receipt
But he figures it's worth it 'cause a disguise is a must
When they go missing they're gonna look for the van first
She whispers slowly "It'll be alright
I took some cash from my building society
And my monthly cheque came in just right
If only they knew they were giving it away"
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
Nine-fifteen Monday morning after printing works
The box door to someone's locked locked in
And the water department of the council offices have a message
That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
Meanwhile at the car wash tunnel from the M6 motorway
Drinking cold black coffee and eating hot cupcakes
She stares at him with his beard unshaved
Wonders at his powers of staying awake
He whispers slowly "You did just fine
They set off to drive all through the night"
She laughs "My mother will have lost her mind
We're only ten miles to Crichton, they're three hundred behind"
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
