Midnight Show

in AlbumHot Fuss

I know what you want

I wanna take you a midnight show tonight

If you can keep a secret

I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind

And a little place that sits beneath the sky

She turned her face to speak

But no-one heard her cry

Drive faster, boy

Drive faster, boy

I know there's a hope

There's too many people trying to help me cope

You got a real short skirt

I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah

We were just in time

Let me take a little more off your mind

There's something in my head

Somewhere in the back said

We were just a good thing

We were such a good thing

Make it go away without a word

But promise me you'll stay

And fix these things I've hurt

Oh make it go away!

Drive faster, boy

Drive faster, boy

Oh crashing time can't hide a guilty girl

With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls

I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier

Of stars in atmosphere

And watch her disappear

Into the midnight show...

Oh faster, faster, faster...

Oh no no no no no...

If you keep a secret

Well baby... you can keep a secret

If you keep a secret...
