Long lines
On my face they crawl
Green pines
And my home it calls
In the city
In the jungle out there
If you're with me
You're in trouble I swear
Lord I want to get there
Even if I slip and fall
I've heard life's for dancing babe
But I ain't got moves at all
Pretty girls
In their summer fair
Like to twirl
Feel the wind in their hair
All the boys
Dance in rhythm and time
It's a choice
I play the music for dimes
Lord I want to get there
Even if I slip and fall
I've heard life's for dancing babe
But I ain't got moves at all
Where have you gone my dancing shoes?
Where have you gone my dancing shoes?
And the night
I come when it calls
Dim the lights
Read the rites in the walls
Double down
When in need of a buck
Flip that crown
Got that gambler's luck
Lord I want to get there
Even if I slip and fall
I've heard life's for dancing babe
But I ain't got moves at all
