We Came To Dance

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
