|
Lying in a city night |
|
A million fingers tingling my skin |
|
Out there in the sea tonight |
|
I though 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 |
|
Hey 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 |
|
Yeah 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 |
|
I know, I know ecstasy ain't free |
|
But compromise is chance |
|
I remember how you used to love to dance |
