Candy pours herself out of the cab
She's caught the bouncer's gaze
A lineup of furtive looks
Full of longing and clichés
Like a hurricane in high heels
Wind whips through tussled hair
Leather jacket with the collar up
A red dress that's barely there
Chorus
Pounding sound of speakers and hearts
Downbeat of her feet on the floor
It's been so long since she had lived
with a compass that never pointed north
She used dance the night away
A lifetime. a dozen years
She was a different woman then
A million miles from here
No one's seen that guy she met
Dancing to the same beat
So many years, a blink of an eye
She gotten back on her feet
Chorus
So many men to take a turn
Another drink, another dance
Some with style, some with grace
Worth a smile and glance
One more night in the dizzy lights
No thought for the morning sun
Works her way through the crowd
Looking to get undone
Chorus
