We Danced Together
The Rakes
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
We danced together on the roof at the party, 5 stories removed from the trouble on the street The sun arose revealing goose bumps on your arm A sign that we should move together somewhere warm. [Chorus] We danced together [Repeat] We moved to the street where they tried to hold curfew And ran among the debris as the bullets flew. Helicopters circled overhead to get a better view We found a doorway, fell in and I held you. [Chorus] We didn't have no where to go Waiting for the daylight to begin Singer, save our secular souls How can you have hope with no God? We didn't give a shit about what they would say... And stayed up until the light turned our world/eyes grey. We caned our money like it was our last day Two fingers up at those who wont miss us when we pass away
