Song Lyrics

All the boys hangin' out down in the parking lot
The night riders giving all they got
While the girls look so good at looking bad
/out strutting/ ["I'm struggling"] dressed in the latest fad
Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin' moves

Kids clothe armour hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feeling
And tonight they're gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin' moves

[instrumental]

"rockface" going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some don't even last
Just one night they don't give a damn
I'm the star , hides another sham
There's no silver and there's no gold
It's just that one shot before they're old
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they make you move
Ooh I love I just love the way they make their move
Makin' moves
