 C...  He sees her at the same time every night 
      at the Mexican discothGeque
      She gives him french kisses 
                        He gCives her french cigarettes
                        They sit at the same table every time 
                        The lights are low But their eyes shine  
                      Just dGigging the music from those sweet soul bands
                      She keeps him outta fights Holds on to his hand
    He whFispers slowly  ....      "tGonight's the night"
        MConths of planning so it's gFotta be right
        Under the table her bag is bGusting at the seams
    She mCade   sure    to   bring   Feverything
    MoonlCighting they're leaving everything
    MoonlGighting they're losing all their friends
    MoonlCighting it's the only way
  It's frGightening but it means they'll stay
      TogFether they're gonna make it 
      togCetheee ...  ... Geer
 C... His blue Morris van is parked in an alley 
      Just by Montague strGeet
      His friend Eddie he did the respray 
                   So he cCouldn't drive it all last week
                   And it cost most of the money That he had saved up
        To pay Eddie's recGeipt But he figures it's worth it
        Cause the disguise is a must 
            When they go mCissing They're gonna look for the van first
   She whFispers slowly:  "it'll be alrGight"
      I tCook some  cash  from   my   bFuilding society
 And my monthly check  came in  just rGight
      If Conly they knew they weren't gFiving it away
    MoonlCighting they're leaving everything
    MoonlGighting they're losing all their friends
    MoonlCighting it's the only way
  It's frGightening but it means they'll stay

... He sees her at the same time every night

at the Mexican discotheque

She gives him french kisses

He gives her french cigarettes

They sit at the same table every time

The lights are low But their eyes shine

Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands

She keeps him outta fights Holds on to his hand

F G

He whispers slowly .... "tonight's the night"

C F

Months of planning so it's gotta be right

Under the table her bag is busting at the seams

C F

She made sure to bring everything

Moonlighting they're leaving everything

Moonlighting they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting it's the only way

It's frightening but it means they'll stay

Together they're gonna make it

C G

... His blue Morris van is parked in an alley

Just by Montague street

His friend Eddie he did the respray

So he couldn't drive it all last week

And it cost most of the money That he had saved up

To pay Eddie's receipt But he figures it's worth it

Cause the disguise is a must

When they go missing They're gonna look for the van first

F G

She whispers slowly: "it'll be alright"

C F

I took some cash from my building society

And my monthly check came in just right

C F

If only they knew they weren't giving it away

Moonlighting they're leaving everything

Moonlighting they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting it's the only way

It's frightening but it means they'll stay

Together they're gonna make it

C G

... 9:15 Monday morning at the printing works

The boss notices someone's not clocked in

And the water department of the council offices has a message

That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing

Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff of the m6 motorway

Drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakes

She stares at him with his beard unshaved

Wonders at his powers of staying awake

G A

He whispers slowly: "you did just fine"

D G

They shared the driving all through the night

She laughs "my mother will have lost her mind" ...

D G

We're only ten miles to Gretna they're three hundred behind

Moonlighting they're leaving everything

Moonlighting they're losing all their friends

Moonlighting it's the only way

It's frightening but it means they'll stay

Together they're gonna make it

D A
