Lying in a city night
|
A million fingers tingling my skin
|
Out thee in the sea tonight
|
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
|
You rolled me over long ago
|
And told me you were strong enough to go
|
You needed more than this lover's dream
|
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
|
In your life
|
|
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
|
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
|
Every Saturday night
|
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
|
And each new tune we said that's our song
|
Oh it felt so right
|
Well ecstasy ain't free
|
But compromise is chance
|
I remember how
|
You used to love to dance
|
|
They told me you have found your love
|
You moved in locked up and put out your blues
|
Well all God's children got to grow up
|
And play house make vows to hang up their shoes
|
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups
|
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up
|
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
|
You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life
|
In your life
|
|
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
|
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
|
Every Saturday night
|
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
|
And each new tune we said that's our song
|
Oh it felt so right
|
Well ecstasy ain't free
|
But compromise is chance
|
I remember how
|
You used to love to dance
|
|
I'm gonna go out tonight
|
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
|
I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
|
And I'm gonna dance, dance
|
Dance till I get my fill
|
|
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
|
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
|
Every Saturday night
|
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
|
And each new tune we said that's our song
|
Oh it felt so right
|
Well ecstasy ain't free
|
But compromise is chance
|
I remember how
|
You used to love to dance
|
