Lyrics:
to spread his wide wings
where the dance halls once buzzing with shifts and refusals
Stand silent dejected and cold
Where they played basketball for
lost the dare
So with my heart and my pride on the line
I asked you to dance for our first time right there
Holding hands in the hall
All night
lost the dare
So with my heart and my pride on the line
I asked you to dance for our first time right there
Holding hands in the hall
All night
third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast,
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass,
And all the drunks pourin' outta the dance halls
Johnny was bashful and shy.
Nobody understood why,
Mary loved him,
All the other girls passed him by.
Every one wanted to know
How she could
The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be
accepted
By making donations just large
at the dance hall, take it to the damn stalls
Trade these beads for their bra
So-co in my canteen, got girls jumpin' on a trampoline
Two men bound by the law
at the dance hall, take it to the damn stalls
Trade these beads for their bra
So-co in my canteen, got girls jumpin' on a trampoline
Two men bound by the law
chandeliers and I'm telling you
Caught in the headlights and I'm yelling it at you
Why is it girl when the world is lit by lightning
That I keep telling you
gently by the arm,
Then it said to him with its sacred charm:
"Rise and walk with me, you won't be harmed"
It quietly led him towards the great window,
armed with chewing gum and fine nylon hose
By a bicycle factory as they sounded the siren
And returned into the dance hall she knew he was the one
Hey pretty Girl
Come dance
With me
By the river
We danced together
Under
The stars
And the moonlight
Girl
Where
Did you go?
This
Empty hall
Life is
breath, by the time I flip to the next flow
This sho' is real, this is the deal, guns I'm runnin
Gotta make it out of town to flip my {shit} and keep it
dime
Went by the name of Barbara Rice
Looking so fine she's also nice
Struttin down the street see the heads turn
Looking at this wonder of a hot girl
a secret baby on the dance floor
Show me how you freak it
Slumville's mixin breaks and Tom's on the grill with the fish and steaks
And fixin plates
Yeah
And she like the way
Im movin
She heard that i sang
And she likin' what Im doing
Yeah
Girl you got me actin foolish
Take a chance
Roll the dice
See
God, I'm rockin' Tom Ford with the dress socks
Huh, private jets when Mr. West call
From the mess hall, I'm havin' TED talk with my legs crossed
I
Pushin horns weren't easy like the movie said it was
And I don't recall no dance hall girls
Or hotel rooms with rugs
You worked hot and tired
there
Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass
And all the drunks pouring out of the dance
on the dance hall floor,
No one but a lunatic would start a war
Wise men know his forty-four
Makes men dance for fair.
to hungry, to hungriest
Pack two cannons by the pancreas
Your whole camp enlists, abandon ship
Push your knuckles up and dance with it
I'll shut down cops,
ringer
So, until next time boys and girls, goodbye!
Cunters journey home, toodaloo, ta ta - and fuck off!!
From the "rollercoaster malpractice"
this depression
New ghosts of Tom Joad
New dust bowl blues, back to fake jewels
So I drop jewels to inform the fooled
Clock tickin' three songs a
Day
