Charlie asked the girl why her skin was glowing
Asked her where she'd been and where she was going
Her reply was succinct and just dripping with ink
She left him tongued tied so weak and flustered as she
With all the apathy that she could muster
Said  to hell are you coming angel
Let's live out scenes from movie screens
From our cheap seats onto the dance floor
We'll hotbox old cars
Drive 'em just as far as we can before the night falls to its knees
There ain't nothing here left for me

Just for tonight could be all that we want to be

Charlie said  hey baby I got no money
I'm not going anywhere I'll still take you honey
Let's run to the shore I don't stay here no more
Christ it seems I'm cursed to live by the moonlight
It means I see the dawn before any of you might
Oh let me go I'd rather drown than just float
Let's live out scenes from movie screens
From our cheap seats onto the dance floor
We'll hotbox old cars
Drive 'em just as far as we can before the night falls to its knees
There ain't nothing here left for me just for tonight
We be all we wanna be

There ain't nothing here left for me

Just for tonight can be all that we wanna be

Let's live out scenes from movie screens
From our cheap seats onto the dance floor
We'll hotbox old cars
Drive 'em just as far as we can before the night falls to its knees
There ain't nothing here left for me just for tonight
We can be all that we wanna be

I'm out of luck time won't slow I'm on the slab

So it goes oh comfort I was never sold
The night is still young but the story's so old
We're out of time

Don't you know we've nothing left once blood runs cold
We'll live on through the stories told

The night's on its knees oh but I can't go home
