MOONLIGHTING  - Ardijah
[Verse]
He sees her Cat the same time every night
At the mexican discoGtheque
She gives him french kisses, He givCes her french cigarettes
CThey sit at the same table every time, The lights are low but their eyes shine
Just diggGing the music from those sweet soul bands
She keeps him outta fights, holds onto his hand
He whiFspers slowly "TonGight's the night", moCnths of planning so it's gotFta be
right
Under the table her bag is bustGing at the seams
She made suCre to bring everyFthing
[Chorus]
MoonliCghting, They're leaving everything
MoonliGghting, Theyre losing all their friends
MoonligChting, It's the only way,
it's frightGening But it means they'll stay togFether ,
They're gonna make it togCetherG  
[Solo break]

[Verse]
CHis blue morris van is parked in an alley, just by Montague StreGet
His friend Eddie, he did the re-spray, so he couldn't drive it all laCst week
And it cost most of the money that he had saved up to pay Eddie's reGceipt
But he figures it's worth it 'cause the disguise is a must
When they go misCsing, they're gonna look for the van first
She whisFpers slowly, "It'll bGe alright CI took some cash from my builFding society
And my monthly check came in just riGght"
If onCly they knew they weren't gFiving it away
[Chorus]
MoonliCghting, They're leaving everything
MoonliGghting, Theyre losing all their friends
MoonligChting, It's the only way,
it's frightGening But it means they'll stay togFether ,

Wonders at his powers of staying awake

MOONLIGHTING - Ardijah

[Verse]

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 onto his hand

F G C F

He whispers slowly "Tonight's the night", 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

[Chorus]

Moonlighting, They're leaving everything

Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends

Moonlighting, It's the only way,

G F

it's frightening But it means they'll stay together ,

C G

They're gonna make it together

[Solo break]

[Verse]

C G

His blue morris van is parked in an alley, just by Montague Street

His friend Eddie, he did the re-spray, 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 C F

She whispers slowly, "It'll be alright 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

[Chorus]

Moonlighting, They're leaving everything

Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends

Moonlighting, It's the only way,

[Verse]

Nine-fifteen 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 cupcakes

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

We're only ten miles to Gretna

They're three hundred behind

[Chorus]

Moonlighting, They're leaving everything

Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends

Moonlighting, It's the only way,

A G

it's frightening But it means they'll stay together,

D A

They're gonna make it together

[Chorus]

Moonlighting, They're leaving everything

Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends

Moonlighting, It's the only way,

A G

it's frightening But it means they'll stay together,

They're gonna make it together
