(The Rest Of The Song Follows The Same Notes
As Above)

When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you’ll be?
That you’re on line with the feline of
Avenue B

Let’s go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we’re gonna howl
Out tonight

In the evening I’ve got to roam
Can’t sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry
So let’s find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die

Let’s go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You’re sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me out tonight
Please take me out tonight
Don’t forsake me – out tonight
I’ll let you make me – out tonight
Tonight – tonight – tonight
