Emergency
Your’e better off dead than dancing
Can’t you see
There was never any room for me?
But I’ll dance these hallowed halls
And the beer soaked drunken love
That passed between these walls
I can see
Days are going to bring you back to me
Why can’t we find a little time to find and be?
You were always on my mind
As the days go rolling by
You were always on my mind
It’s not a one-way street
When it’s a two way beat
It’s not what you know
It’s not what you see.
Emergency
Your’e better off dead than dancing
Can’t you see
There was never any room for me.
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
As the days go rolling by
You were always on my mind.
