|
Paralyzed by hatred and a piss ugly soul |
|
if he murdered his father, he thought he'd become whole |
|
While listening at night to an old radio |
|
where they danced to the rock minuet |
|
In the gay bars in the back of the bar |
|
he consummated hatred on a cold sawdust floor |
|
While the jukebox played backbeats, he sniffed coke off a jar |
|
while they danced to a rock minuet |
|
School was a waste, he was meant for the street |
|
but school was the only way, the army could be beat |
|
The two whores sucked his nipples 'til he came on their feet |
|
as they danced to the rock minuet |
|
He dreamt that his father was sunk to his knees |
|
his leather belt tied so tight that it was hard to breathe |
|
And the studs from his jacket were as cold as a breeze |
|
as he danced to a rock minuet |
|
He pictured the bedroom where he heard the first cry |
|
his mother on all fours, ah, with his father behind |
|
And her yell hurt so much, he had wished he'd gone blind |
|
and rocked to a rock minuet |
|
In the back of the warehouse were a couple of guys |
|
they had tied someone up and sewn up their eyes |
|
And he got so excited he came on his thighs |
|
when they danced to the rock minuet |
|
On Avenue B, someone cruised him one night |
|
he took him in an alley and then pulled a knife |
|
And thought of his father as he cut his windpipe |
|
and finally danced to the rock minuet |
|
In the curse of the alley, the thrill of the street |
|
on the bitter cold docks where the outlaws all meet |
|
In euphoria drug in euphoria heat |
|
you could dance to the rock minuet |
|
In the thrill of the needle and anonymous sex |
|
you could dance to the rock minuet |
|
So when you dance hard, slow dancing |
|
when you dance hard, slow dancing |
|
When you dance hard, slow dancing |
|
when you dance to the rock minuet |
