We are the last of the jukebox romeos,
We are romantics by the light of the fourway
We came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times
And to bring it all back home again
[Chorus:]
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
Do the jump back jack stop and slide to the right
Never break their hearts never make em cry so come on
Strike up the band with a song that everybody knows
If I'm not your kind then don't tell a soul
I'm not the one who hates bein' alone so c'mon
And in this unstable arena
Of what's left or become of my America
I'm asking this dance so come take my hand, c'mon
[Chorus]
And if they end it all by the end of tonight
If the big bombs drop down over this quiet Edison sky
We'll blow one last kiss to all the beautiful nights like this
under the central jersey skies
[Chorus]
Cause you ain't never had a night on the town
Like I could show you such a night on the town
You ain't never had a song you could sing
It's a deep dark night, I hear you, I been there
and these are the songs we sing
and these are the songs we sing
You ain't never seen a two step
Like when you seen it from your mama's house
Where the kids flash like lightning
To the very best dancers in town
We learned from the very best dancers around
Come take my hand
Mama we came to dance
