Headlight in the driveway
AYou stand in the window waiting
GThe stars are out tonBmight
AOne million fires burning

AYou dance with your heaDdphones on
GAnd I could watch you all night long
ADancing to someone else's Gsong
Oh, dAancing to someone else's Gsong
Oh, dAancing to someone else's

GBlack jacket, a blue DmotorbikeD  
Pass the Amission in the moonlight
