I smoke a cigarette As I wait in the bath And I wait for you For an hour and a half And I go to the window Where the sky falls down in rains And I look across the river Where they dance the night away
I watch the couples On the corner of town Men dressed in black tie The ladies in gowns A taxi pulls up Drives them across the street, Takes them to a place Where they dance the night away
Dance the night away Dance the night away Dance the night away
I crawl across the bed Playing the radio low Trying to forget What I already know And I want to sleep But the song never ends It comes from a place Where they dance the night away
I reach in the drawer And I take out respect It doctors the sickness I took years to perfect And I feel sweet sleep Like the shadows on a charm Moves to my brain Where I dance the night away
Dance the night away Dance the night away Dance the night away Dance the night away Dance the . . .
