Tonight Lyrics - Boomtown Rats

Oh, I don't wanna have to take your arm 

But I will, said I will 

Don't wanna have to damage anyone 

But I'd kill, kiss and kill 

I don't intend to take this lying down 

With my head between my hands, no 

I don't intend to copy any bird 

That keeps it's head stuck in the sand, oh 

You scratch my back 

And maybe I'll claw yours 

You understand being used 

And if you feel a little itchy now 

You won't mind being abused 

Tonight...the towers crumble 

Tonight...the mountains fall 

Tonight...no one stumbles 

Tonight...no one stalls 

Scratch you tonight 

You don't wanna have to spill those beans 

but you will, I said you will 

You got the numbers and the papers here 

And you will, kiss and spill 

You check me out and then you reel me in 

Oh you check and you reel real fine 

You're slummin' now with all those friends you got 

You've been slumming in the slime 

You scratch my back 

And maybe I'll claw yours 

You understand being used 

And if you feel a little itchy now 

You won't mind being abused 

Tonight...the towers crumble 

Tonight...the mountain falls 

Tonight...no one tumbles 

Tonight...no one calls 

Scratch you tonight 

We're itchin' tonight, scratch you tonight 

All right, all right, you want me tonight, yeah 

Want me tonight, all right, all right 

Do it tonight, sit tight 

Fool me tonight, yeah yeah 

Tonight...the towers crumble 

Tonight...the mountains fall 

Tonight...I heard you fumble 

Tonight...the motor stalls 

Tongiht, tonight, tonight, tonight
