don't go out tonight


shawn pelton-drums/paul ossola-upright bass

julia checks me out with a scornful eye
lookin' back at sammy as if to say why
with all the fine boys put together so tight
why you wanna do this, baby, don't go out tonight

don't go out tonight, are you insane?
the hope in your eyes is gonna go up in flames
you'll try to hold him tight, you'll try to make him care
but don't go out tonight, girl, there's nobody there

we are the lucky ones, we have been blessed
with sensuality of the soul and breast
you'll scour his eyes for the truth you need
his lips are broken glass and he wants you to bleed

 

don't go out tonight with that reckless heart
you swear he makes you tremble, you were shaky from the start you'll try to make him notice the sweet night air but don't go out tonight, girl, there's nobody there

stay with me, i will hold you tenderly, i'll rub your shoulders and maybe when the morning light tiptoes through the windows
you'll remember how the song goes

yeah he loves your eyes, your dionysian bod
he swears that mouth came directly from god
but he'll see something else when you show him your heart and call it self defense when he tears it apart

don't go out tonight, don't go there alone
tell him you're sick, c'mon here's the phone
he'll open your door, he'll pull out your chair
but don't go out tonight, girl, there's nobody there don't go out tonight, girl, there's nobody there.
