Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out (lyrics)

Now
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the color of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes
We
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side
Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
We
Are young but getting old before our time
We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind
Don't you wonder what we'll find
Steppin' out tonight
You
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
We'll be there in just a while
If you follow me
Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light
Me babe, steppin' out
Into the night
Into the light

I was only 8 yrs old when this song came out, i remember it being played. It brings back memories of growing up in the 80's. Nastalgic for me. Makes me smile when i hear it.🤗

Haunting melody, brings me chills and tears it’s so beautifully written

We always played this before going out to the disco to kick off the evening! So much fun in the 80's!

Thia was from a time when music was music and made you feel good inside. Where is my Tux and spats ? Baby we're going out on the town ! !

Definitely describes a confident attitude between two people trying too escape the stress of everyday life and enjoying one and other...refreshing

One of my favorite songs from the 80s. A good classic to dance to.

Love this song so much! Remember hearing it as a kid. The melody has been stuck in my head for years and I couldn’t remember the words just the sound. I was in Walmart recently and it was playing on the radio. I ran to the speaker to get a listen for the words and lo and behold I was able to pull it up on YouTube. 😁🙌

Seems like that's the thing you can if your so tired of all the darkness in your lives (when things don't go your way) get into a car and drive to the other side to help drown out all that negativity and for something positive to happen. Good line it explains everything so perfectly what to do if your feeling down. And that's what 80s songs are known for doing great music from a great time.

Heard this in GTA VC, back in 2006 when started to play..Heard it couple times in stores in Los Angeles grocery stores, brought me back to VC!

Love this song so much. Love the lyrics as well and Joe Jackson's expertise on the piano. Beautiful melody.

i have never been to NEW YORK, but listening to this tune. I feel like taking a ride on a yellow cab on the streets of NYC: BEST REGARDS FROM MÉXICO.

[trezmala]

This song is a blast to my childhood, so good, such great energy, fantastic vibes, gets me moving.

[paulrevere]

80s beat but the rest is mellow with strong hints of classic jazz.

Like a lazy river with a much stronger undercurrent.

[michaelbruns]

Haunting mesmerizing and irresistible, one of my very favorite songs ive ever heard, glowing radiance from lost worlds and other realities.

[dontewright]

Thanks for the upload. I have been searching for this song for a long time. I remember the first time I heard this song in second grade in 82. Great times in the 80s

[kelvinbeels]

Exceptional musical talent, there is nothing else to say...
