Out Tonight (From "Rent")

Out Tonight - Original Cast Recording

Written by：Jonathan Larson

What's the time

Well it's gotta be close to midnight

My body's talking to me

It says time for danger

It says I wanna commit a crime

Wanna be the cause of a fight

I wanna put on a tight skirt

And flirt with a stranger

I've had a knack from way back

At breaking the rules once I learn the games

Get up life's too quick I know someplace sick

Where this chick'll dance in the flames

We don't need any money

I always get in for free

You can get in too

If you get in with me

Let's go out tonight

I have to go out tonight

You wanna play let's run away

We won't be back before it's new year's day

Take me out tonight meow

When I get a wink from the doorman

Do you know how lucky you'll be

That you're on line with the feline

Of avenue b

Let's go out tonight

I have to go out tonight

You wanna prowl be my night owl

Well take my hand we're gonna howl

Out tonight

In the evening I've got to roam

Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome

Feels too damn much like home

When the Spanish babies cry

So let's find a bar

So dark we forget who we are

Where all the scars

From the nevers and maybes die

Let's go out tonight

I have to go out tonight

You're sweet wanna hit the street

Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat

Just take me out tonight

Please take me out tonight

Don't forsake me out tonight

I'll let you make me out tonight

Tonight tonight tonight
