I'm so tired of workin' everyday
Now the weekend's come, I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, mister, you'll be alright
I want to see the bright lights tonight
Meet me at the station, don't be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight, I want to see the bright lights tonight
There's crazy people running all over town,
There's a silver band just marching up and down
And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight, I want to see the bright lights tonight
Meet me at the station, don't be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight, I want to see the bright lights tonight
A couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor is just the kind of mess I'm looking for
I'm gonna dream 'til Monday comes in sight, I want to see the bright lights tonight
Oh, meet me at the station don't be late,
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight, I want to see the bright lights tonight
Take me to the dance and hold me tight, I want to see the bright lights tonight |
