|Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
 
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
 
Take me out tonight
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
where there's music and there's people
And I want to see life
who are young and alive
 
driving in your car
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more
 
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
 
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 
And in the darkened underpass
I thought, oh, God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
 
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
 
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, no no no
because I haven't got one
Oh, I haven't got one
anymore
 
take me out tonight
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
because I want to see ''people''
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
and I want to see ''lights''
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
driving in your car
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
oh please don't drop me home
 
because it's not ''my'' home, it's ''their'' home
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
and I'm welcome no more
There is a light and it never goes out
and if a double-decker bus
There is a light and it never goes out
crashes into us
to die by your side
such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
the pleasure and the privilege is mine
take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
and in the darkened underpass
I thought ''Oh, God, my chance has come at last''
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask)
take me out tonight
take me anywhere, I don't care
just driving in your car
I never want to go home
because I haven't got one
I haven't got one
