Don't Dance (Lyrics)


 * ''Tongue in cheek till a hole burns out her mouth,
 * ''And fingers crossed like the promise of cub scouts,
 * ''And we know that the picture in her heart shaped locket,
 * ''Is far from an inanimate object.
 * ''She's as dark as the blood pulsing under her skin,
 * ''Still afraid of the boogey man under her bed,
 * ''And we know that the ashes in the urn was a person,
 * ''And we never should have burned him.


 * ''Shake it, shake it like you bouts to get paid,
 * ''Boom swaggaboom, like you gots a peg leg.


 * ''I'm game, you're game; you're the main attraction,
 * ''And the way you fit your jeans it makes me ready for action.
 * ''Break it down to a fraction,
 * ''I'm doing decimal subtraction to find a reaction.


 * ''This is for the C-O 3-O-3, my people,
 * ''We've got the music that you can't stand still to,
 * ''And even if you don't dance,
 * ''I've gotta get you out and take this chance,


 * ''I caught her cornering the pictures in her purse,
 * ''A white reflection of the window of his hearse,
 * ''And she knows not to be another wife in waiting,
 * ''So she's just a widow that I'm dating.
 * ''Rolled up sleeves with a carton in it's fold,
 * ''A rusted chain with a cross that once was gold,
 * ''And I look from a distance as the coffin closes,
 * ''And disappears below the roses.


 * ''Shake it, shake it like you bouts to get paid,
 * ''Boom swaggaboom, like you gots a peg leg.


 * ''This is for the C-O 3-0-3, my people,
 * ''We've got the music that you can't stand still to,
 * ''And even if you don't dance,
 * ''I've gotta get you out and take this chance.
