You Used To Love To Dance
Lying in a city nightA million fingers tingling my skinOut thee in the sea tonightI thought I saw you clutching your sinYou rolled me over long agoAnd told me you were strong enough to goYou needed more than this lover's dreamYou need the steel and the concrete beams in your lifeIn your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox lightAnd we tore the rug in that downtown diveEvery Saturday nightFor fifty cents we'd dance all night longAnd each new tune we said that's our songOh it felt so rightWell ecstasy ain't freeBut compromise is chanceI remember howYou used to love to dance
They told me you have found your loveYou moved in locked up and put out your bluesWell all God's children got to grow upAnd play house make vows to hang up their shoesDo you sit and talk over coffee cupsDo headline mornings satisfy and fill you upI kept your eyes and your cigarette kissYou couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your lifeIn your life
We laughed and drank in the jukebox lightAnd we tore the rug in that downtown diveEvery Saturday nightFor fifty cents we'd dance all night longAnd each new tune we said that's our songOh it felt so rightWell ecstasy ain't freeBut compromise is chanceI remember howYou used to love to dance
I'm gonna go out tonightI'm gonna drive up to the hillI'm gonna dive on into those city lightsAnd I'm gonna dance, danceDance till I get my fill
We laughed and drank in the jukebox lightAnd we tore the rug in that downtown diveEvery Saturday nightFor fifty cents we'd dance all night longAnd each new tune we said that's our songOh it felt so rightWell ecstasy ain't freeBut compromise is chanceI remember howYou used to love to dance
