Night Out

She opens up the door to her closet
And let's her hand run to the deep end of the rail
Stops at the velvety touch of an old dress
And the memory of the sea she used to sail

Maybe it's time, maybe it's time for a night out
She throws the dress on over her shoulders
And the old zipper coughs it's way up along her spine
She pads a rose berry red on the apples of her cheeks
And the mirror sends her back a stranger's smile
Maybe it's time, maybe it's time for a night out

There's a world out there
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on girl let down your hair like you don't care
And open up your door
Baby it's time, baby it's time for a night out
Baby it's time, baby it's time for a night out

She hovers at the top of the staircase
The thought of? cuts like a knife
And then she hurls herself forwards towards the front door
You would think she was running for her life
Baby it's time, baby it's time

She freezes with her hand on the handle
As the voice reeks behind her on the couch
She takes a step back into the doorway
And then the light of the TV
She let's him look her up an down

There's a world out there
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on girl let down your hair
Like you don't care
And open up your door

You poor girl, he said
To think that anyone is gonna look your way
You're a lucky girl, he said
That you've got me
And that I stay

There's a world out there
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on girl let down your hair like you don't care
And open up your doors

There's a world out there
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on girl let down your hair
And open up your doors
Baby it's time, baby it's time for a night out
Baby it's time, baby it's time for a night out
