Last night    You know you really really    made me appreciate my life    When you took me to the seventh floor    And closed the door    I didn't stand a chance    Oh oh that night    When my conscience was losing    in that age old fight    Now I've always been a non-believer    A true deceiver    A hit and run romance    Don't you know that when we turned out the light    We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave    Like we were ships in the night    Going nowhere    Last night    When the feeling was missing    but the mood was right    From the moment we took the floor    I knew for sure    We'd play the parts we're expected to    I've done it so many times    Man we're all inmates of the human zoo    Our bodies in control of our minds    I played the jester and you played the fool    You kept forgetting your lines    I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two    Huh, you planned to come all the time    But when we turned out the light    We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave    Like we were ships in the night    Going nowhere (nowhere)    Oh last night    You know you really really    gave me something to write about    In the morning it was just the same    I'd lost again    But it won't take me long to forget    Oh oh last night
