(R. Ocasek)
Pale dolls dancin in the street
Harlequin lovers stamp their feet
They want to fly forever
Rough and ready Romeos
Skin tight angels that never show
They want to fly forever
And when you come away
It's your holiday
You got to fly by night
Once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Fly by night
Once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Bad boys bouncin boom box beat
You better never take their heat
They want to cry forever
And when you want to play
You got to slip away
You got to fly by night
Once in awhile
You got to fly by night
Fly by night
Once in awhile
You got to fly by night
And leave us your smile
It could go on forever
And when you want to play
You got to slip away
