I Don’t Dance

Always lost at sea

Bottles drifting in waters

Love’s still love when lone men sing

It clings to hearts that drugs can’t ease

I’ll wait

It’s not the partner it’s the dance I fear

Forgive the whistling tongues

Forget the missing steps

For there’s no home for those who suffer

And there’s no hope for those who dance

I’ll wait

I won’t dance with you and now comes the night

(If there’s someone here looking out for me)

(Find the pariahs by the sea)

Here there’s nothing left for us

Cause there’s nothing left to lose

Nothing left to fight for

I can’t see the difference between a few and so much more

I ain't the shadow of an answer

Or the shadow of a fight

And my shoes do suck for dancing without class

Take me out of the water

Wake me after the night

It just sucked when you wrote party

On a flier that said waltz

And tonight

Oh tonight

I will spare my feet hundreds of blebs

For I don’t dance

It’s raining knives inside the ballroom

And you dance on broken glass

It’s all you’ve been told to do

After long years that wouldn’t pass

Make your choice on the partner

And make the fucker smile

And spin, spin, spin, spin until you realize

How can one be so grateful

With your vomit on their pants?

Something made the whole room

Full of crystal again

But you’re not allowed to touch

No, you’re not allowed to care

And you end up alone in the night

As he slips from your hands

Cowards, infamy

Liars, one by one they quit

You’ll never dance again

And you burn this stupid dress

Five years later, same faces, same dance

You said Never dance again

Never dance again
