Red Bulb Rendezvous

(hoo-ooo) Underneath a single red bulb glow

In the quiet where the rafters show

You only call me when the night is deep

Trading secrets that you cannot keep

You need a lighter for your cigarette

Borrowing mine, though we just met

Our hands are cold,

the concrete's grey

I watch the flame blow the dark away

And we are dancing in the warehouse dust!

Building up a fire out of steel and rust!

(yeah, yeah) With a borrowed light and a secret shared

Tell me when did you become so scared?

We stand among the timber and the beam

This unfinished room, a half-built dream

The silver lighter stays on the ledge

Two hearts balanced on a concrete edge

Under one red light

(one red light)

We build it right
