Dancing in the Moonlight (It’s Caught Me in Its Spotlight) Songtext
von Thin Lizzy

When I passed you in the doorway
Well, you took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance
Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
And my father he′s going crazy
He says I'm living in a trance

But I′m dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It's alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night


It′s three o′clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten
Now I won′t get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it′s a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

Dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight (It′s alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night

And I'm walking home
The last bus has long gone
But I'm dancing in the moonlight


Dancing in the moonlight
It′s caught me in its spotlight (It′s alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
It′s caught me in its spotlight (It's caught me in its spotlight)
Dancing in the moonlight (dancing in the moonlight)
On this long hot summer night (It′s got me hot)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
It′s caught me in its spotlight (Its caught me alright, alright, alright)
Dancing in the moonlight
On this long hot summer night (It's so god damn hot)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing)
It′s caught me in its spotlight (I′m still dancing)
Dancing in the moonlight (I'm dancing in the moonlight)
On this long hot summer night
