What Have You Got To Do
(To Get Off Tonight)

Here it comes that lonely feeling again
I think I'll call up my nouveau friends
I met her at "The Edge" on a Monday night
I think that she'd be fun
But she's not my type
We were talking about the accident
All messed up and
That's exactly what she meant
Inherit the wind start over again
What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight

I don't want to talk about what's fashionable
I don't want to know what is in vogue
I want to know about the way that you feel
I want to have fun, I want to know what is real

I feel like a bird frying on a wire
I'll be walking on coals just to cool my desire
Inherit the wind, but then you're gonna get tired

What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight

And I feel like a bird that's been frying on the wire
Walking on coals just to cool my desire
Inherit the wind, but you're gonna get tired

What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off tonight

What have you got to do to get off tonight
What have you got to do to get off

I feel like a bird that's been frying on the wire
I'll be walking on coals just to cool my desire
Inherit the wind but you're gonna get tired
What have you got to do to get off?
