:music: Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out there in the sea tonight
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
In your life

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

They told me you have found your love
You moved in locked up and put out your blues
Well all God's children got to grow up
And play house make vows to hang up their shoes
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life
In your life

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

I'm gonna go out tonight
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
And I'm gonna dance, dance
Dance till I get my fill

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don?t dance and if they don?t dance
Well they?re are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
And we can dance

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don?t dance and if they don?t dance
Well they?re are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance.

Francois!

Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am i
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise ?em with the victory cry

I say we can act if want to if we don?t nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we?re doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin? the chance
Safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance

Ssss-aaaa-ffff-eeee-tttt-yyyy
Safety-dance

We can dance if we want to, we?ve got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything?ll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don?t dance and if they don?t dance
Well they?re are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we?re doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody?s takin? the chance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh yes the safety dance
Oh the safety dance yeah
Oh it?s the safety dance
It?s the safety dance
Well it?s the safety dance
Oh it?s the safety dance
Oh it?s the safety dance
Oh it?s the safety dance
Oh it?s the safety dance

If I had never seen the music video for this song with the midgets in it, I would have never fully appreciated its genius.

What are you referring to? The search I did on DaveSimmons lyrics came up as Melissa Etheridge.

He's referring to the Gorillaz song that I was originally talking about. Dirty harry.
