Not Tonight by The Raptures Lyrics

[Verse]
It's a moonage daydream, don't you know the routine?
Play by the book, they'll give you a look
But not the look you're looking for, one of confusion to the core
This damp, dark night never promised that you'd feel right
And you'll be fine, but only in time
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
There's a fickle rulebook to this game

[Bridge]
And though the others pretend, you're not like them
They only like them when they're in a state

[Chorus]
Tonight I've learned a thing or two
One I've heard the other's new
You ask me why I feel so down
I'd tell you any day but not
Tonight I've met a girl above any kind of super drug
Just ask me why I feel so down, I'd tell you any day but not tonight
Oh not tonight. Not tonight
[Bridge]
Tonight you've fallen for the bluff
Made all confessions off the cuff
You don't look the way you feel
'cause this blow you will conceal
Tonight you'll learn an aching truth
The one you want's always aloof
The night is over no surprise, a Sunday morning in disguise

[Chorus]
Tonight I've learned a thing or two
One I've heard the other's new
You ask me why I feel so down
I'd tell you any day but not
Tonight I've met a girl above any kind of super drug
Just ask me why I feel so down, I'd tell you any day but not tonight
Not tonight
Tonight I've met a girl above any kind of super drug
Just ask me why I feel so down, I'd tell you any day but not tonight
