| Follow me down to the Starlight Motel | |
| While everyone's sleeping tonight | |
| Don't be afraid, I know what's on your mind | |
| I'm gonna make it alright | |
| Well, I know it's cold and I know it's late | |
| But our life is short, darling, I can't wait | |
| Follow my footsteps and silently step | |
| Out to the road in the moonlight | |
| The stars in the sky are all laid out for us | |
| They'll watch over our love tonight | |
| Well, I know it's cold and I know it's late | |
| But our life is short, darling, I can't wait | |
| Won't you join me for this dance | |
| It may be our only chance | |
| Baby, don't say no tonight | |
| There's times I believe that we'll never return | |
| But the moon always has to start falling | |
| Blankets protect you from the cold before dawn | |
| But they can't protect you from the morning |
