Moonlighting

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 tonightÕs the night
Months of planning so its gotta be right
Under the table her bag is busting at the seams
She made sure to bring everything
Moonlighting
TheyÕre leaving everything
Moonlighting
TheyÕre losing all their friends
Moonlighting
Its the only way
Its frightening
But it means theyÕll stay
Together
TheyÕre 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 couldnÕt drive it all last week
And it cost most of the money that he had saved up
To pay eddies receipt
But he figures its worth it cos the disguise is a must
When they go missing theyÕre gonna look for the van first
She whispers slowly itÕll be alright
I took some cash from my building society
And my monthly check came in just right
If only they knew they werenÕt giving it away
9:15 Monday morning at the printing works
The boss notices someoneÕs not clocked in
And the water department of the council offices has a message
That Mrs Parks 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 you did just fine
They shared the driving all through the night
She laughs my mother will have lost her mind
Were only ten miles to Gretna
TheyÕre three hundred behind
