You Used To Love To Dance |
| 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 |
