dance, dance Christa Päffgen
by Anberlin

She's got the time, says she's got time on her side
running the rule, commanding the late boys' eyes
she runs around, knows all the streets by name
knows all the streets by name
so mysterious, (so mysterious)
like shadows meet James Dean
she's intoxicating (intoxicating)
soon your favorite drink

your black dress in disarray
only dance floor prayers can save
temperatures rise and i start to move
but it's you that's coursing through my veins

says she's got hope (hope)
take shelter to the hollywood list
taking control, wanted my heart but i gave her my soul
she's like a Paige Davis with a Monroe kiss
disappeared today, left no trace
but someday i'll know your name

your black dress in disarray
only dance floor prayers can save
temperatures rise and i start to move
but it's you that's coursing through my veins

(chorus)
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, swear i'm clinical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, no not cynical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes

she's no saint (she's no saint)
she's no saint (she's no saint)
she's no saint, but she'll take you to your knees
try her boy, but she'll still do as she please
do you believe in science? she's perfect chemistry
she wanted my love (my love), but i gave her the rest of me

(chorus)
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, swear i'm clinical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, no not cynical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes

you'll adore me, before the night is over (x2)

if London's calling, don't you dare pick up the phone
only you entwined could make this orphan feel at home
lips that need no introduction, and now are waiting for a call
but if a picture's worth a thousand words
then your touch is worth them all (worth them all)

(chorus)
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, swear i'm clinical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes
don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
now i'm dependent, no not cynical
addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
i need a fix in those heroin eyes

you're my chemical, swear i'm clinical
i need a fix in those heroin eyes
you're my chemical, i'm not cynical
i need a fix in those heroin eyes

worth them all

(don't leave us in the dark)
