Stolen Car Lyrics - Sting

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street 

There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade 

It only takes a moment, don't be afraid 

I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star 

I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car 

So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights 

And we drive into the night 

Oh the smell of the leather always excited my imagination 

And I picture myself in this different situation 

I'm a company director, two kids and a wife 

I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life 

There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone 

Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne 

And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near 

Start ringing in my ear

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own 

You promised one day we could its, what you said on the phone 

I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light 

Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight 

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool 

She picks the kids up form some private school 

She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone 

But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne 

And the kid's just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light 

And she drives into the night 

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own 

You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone 

I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light 

Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight 

So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light 

They go form red to green and so I just drive into the night
