You Can Dance

	I’ve walked for miles in your eastern town
	I can’t stand it there, so don’t shout me down
	I thought i might find you, might try to explain
	That we’ve been the victims and we cannot be to blame
	We won’t get any money from the government
	They won’t give us all we’re due so now our cover is spent
	They won’t back down until we sell the farm
	And come back with some needle-marks on our arms
	Well, I know that you can dance
	But what have you got to say?
	I know that the world we’ve built together is broken
	Maybe I’ve taken you for granted, left to much unspoken
	But there’s a red headed Elvis, he’s been awake for days
	He makes me feel so jealous, he believes every note he plays
	And he wants for nothing but fortune and fame
	He’s the King Tut of this pyramid game
	In his eyes I see apologies that make me think of you
	What if we’re more dangerous than all the boys you’ve known?
	What if I’m the baddest seed that you have ever sown?
	Tell your mother and your bother that tonight we are in love
	I know that you can dance
	But what have you got to say?
	Where are your songs?
