The vault of lost lyrics, chapter 89

Always reminds me of the auto-percussion selection on my mother's electronic organ!

**

"Steppin' Out" (as recorded by Joe Jackson)

Now —
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes

We —
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side

Me, babe — steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You, babe — steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light

We —
Are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the TV and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin' out tonight

You —
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
If you follow me

Me, babe — steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You, babe - steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light ...
