My love and I, we are boxing clever
She'll never crowd me out
Fall be free as old confetti
And paint the town, paint the town
 
So give me that bottle, my sorrows can't last
I got the money, so pour me a glass
Tell me some jokes, turn the music up loud
You're hard to forget although there's a crowd
You're hard to forget although there's a crowd
 
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
Umm, in the sweet summertime

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
 
Workin' on our night moves

The nights can be cold
There's a chill to ev'ry evenin'
When you're all alone

Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here
To keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)

Baby, come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be (my love)
And I'm oh so, glad I found you
 
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
 
I’ll buy you moonlight diamonds
I’ll buy you pearls galore
I’ll love you to your arms and legs
Are shakin’ like a willow tree

You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
I feel like dancin’, dancin’, dancin’
Dance the night away
 
I’ll buy you moonlight diamonds
I’ll buy you pearls galore
I’ll love you to your arms and legs
Are shakin’ like a willow tree

You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
I’m gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancin’
I feel like dancin’, dancin’, dancin’
Dance the night away
Woo!
 
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
<<goes off to play this>>
 
In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl honey sniffing around your door
In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy,
Telling me I gotta have more
.........
In the still of the night
Ooh yeah
In the still of the night
I will be sneaking 'round your door
In the still of the night
 
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through
 
Spilling up pink silk and coffee lace
You hook me up, I rendezvous at your place
Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate
Sentimental powers might help you now
But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers
You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend

No I won't be told there's a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow
Or that pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain
Might make this love grow

But I hope and I pray that maybe someday
You'll walk in the room with my heart
Add and subtract but as a matter of fact
Now that you're gone I still want you back
Remembering, surrendering
The kindest cut's the cruelest part
All of my heart
 
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
'Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
 
It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found
 
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me cryin'?
And would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?, oh, please, tell me this
Now, would you die for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms tonight
 
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
I never meant to cause you any sorrow,
I never meant to cause any pain,
I only wanted to see you one time laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
.......
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
 
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You roll like thunder, pouring all your drinks
The party's lit and you, my friend, half cut when it begins,
You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind,
That lightning in a bottle, that moonbeam in your hand

Just do it,
just do it don't wait
Just do it
Just do it don't wait
 
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That, for me, it isn't over
Well I know I'm on a losin' streek 'cause I've passed down by your street
And if you want a show just let me know and I'll sing in your ear again

No the drugs don't work they just make me worse, but I know I'll see your face again
 
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me cryin'?
And would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?, oh, please, tell me this
Now, would you die for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms tonight
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds and lead us back
To a world we would not face
In this altered state
Filled with so much pain and rage
You know we got to find a way to let it go
...........
After eons of war and lifetimes
She smilin' and free, nothing left
But a cracking voice and a song

I wanna dance with you
 
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through
I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
The fever for you was just burning me up inside
 
The nights can be cold
There's a chill to ev'ry evenin'
When you're all alone

Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here
To keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)

Baby, come to me (come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be (my love)
And I'm oh so, glad I found you
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is like secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess that's the price of love
I know it's not cheap

I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans,
When I was all messed up
And I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed

Baby baby baby
Light my way
