Big city noise disappears Sucker punch is in your heart Light is reason light is due My shape is shapeless in your suit Chrome red eyeballs reflect and roll A simple sun is slowly sinking Roman shoes and pretty hats Glitter bombs that beat the beat You comb the night 'cause you're a cruiser And ya you never get enough When you're cruisin' down the street And takin' off the heat When you're on the moonlight run (Cruiser) (Cruiser) Floating jets and big vignettes Get the treatment grab a cab Set aside the screaming fish Tell the world why you're so glad Flip the switches pull the plug You always wait for better news You need a hit you need a slu-ug You don't easily get amused You comb the night 'cause you're a cruiser And ya you never get enough When you're cruisin' down the street And you're takin' off the heat When you're on the moonlight run (Cruiser) Well you're a cruiser (Cruiser) Cruiser (Cruiser) Cruiser (Cruiser)
