All the boys who called their mothers on that day |
|
We know, tough bunch, but they had the nerves, |
|
to go and say |
|
That all your secrets were drowned |
|
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town |
|
They packed their bags only moments to late |
|
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates |
|
'Cause dire times, call for dire faces |
|
So lovely dancer, call a dancer |
|
Trading places in the night |
|
We're running barefoot, you and I |
|
Dead lovers salivate |
|
Broken hearts tessellate tonight |
|
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old school yard fence |
|
Where holding out for prosperity in self defense |
|
We beat them down again |
|
There's no fun playing cowboys for pretend |
|
We showed them what the backs of our hands are for |
|
The devide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor |
|
'Cause dire times, call for dire faces |
|
So lovely dancer, call a dancer |
|
Trading places in the night |
|
We're running barefoot, you and I |
|
Dead lovers salivate |
|
Broken hearts tessellate tonight |
