"Out Tonight" lyrics
Tinashe & Rent Live Orchestra Lyrics
(from "Rent" soundtrack)
What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says, "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the game
Get up, life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in, too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play? Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight... meow
Oh, yeah, yeah
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?
Just 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
Where all the scars of the nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
I 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
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"
It says, "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the game
Get up, life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in, too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play? Let's run away
We won't be back before it's Christmas day
Take me out tonight... meow
Oh, yeah, yeah
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?
Just 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
Where all the scars of the nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
I 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
