baby quit your dancing shoes the strip is fun but it ain t home i think i know what you need a little less neon a little more me to hold you close dance away my cares tonight take me back in time hold me closer than the darkness over my shoulder time leaves lovers behind so girl tonight fan the flames and let the ashes smolder i ve known you since long ago what you were like before the shows before the lights became our lives it ain t bad but baby sometimes i need you to hope dance away my cares tonight take me back in time hold me closer than the darkness over my shoulder time leaves lovers behind so girl tonight fan the flames and let the ashes smolder now i stare out at the bay the humid air pushing salty waves while you watch the desert sun sinking low waiting for someone to take you away dance away my cares tonight take me back in time hold me closer than the darkness over my shoulder time leaves lovers behind so girl tonight fan the flames and let the ashes smolder
