NIGHTCLUB HEAVEN
(I WANT TO GO OUT TONIGHT)
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. it's getting dark behind the neon light
like a velvet painting of a satellite.
put down the magazine, it'll be there later.
there's more to life than a full refrigerator.
CHORUS: I want to go out tonight.
I want to go out tonight.
I want to go out,
want to go out tonight.
I want to go out tonight.
I want to go out tonight.
I want to go out,
want to go out tonight.
II. as the walls begin to shrink
and spiral like a roller rink,
a record skips on the radio,
the radio, the radio, the radio, the radio...
(repeat chorus)
BRIDGE: Lucinda stands motionless
with no less emotion
than the Bolshoi ballet.
her eyes will tell a story,
her voice will be the cast.
tomorrow she will go away.
ENDING: cold inertia molds my ways
like mountain springs in ice cube trays.
when my life becomes December,
I need a summer to remember,
need a summer to remember.
