Dance Music

[00:10.78] Alright I'm on Johnson avenue
[00:12.88] In San Louis Obispo
[00:14.28] I'm five years old or six maybe
[00:16.99] And indications that there's
[00:18.14] Something wrong with our new house
[00:20.75] Trip down the wire twice daily
[00:22.71] I'm in the living room
[00:24.03] Watching the Watergate hearings
[00:25.48] While my stepfather yells at my mother
[00:28.28] Launches a glass across the room
[00:30.35] Straight at her head
[00:31.24] And I dash upstairs to take cover
[00:33.66] Lean in close to my little record player on the floor
[00:37.80] So this is what the volume knob's for
[00:39.72] I listen to dance music
[00:43.57] Dance music
[00:45.42]
[00:56.21] Okay so look I'm seventeen years old
[00:59.54] And you're the last best thing I got going
[01:02.60] But then the special secret sickness
[01:04.20] Starts to eat through you
[01:05.57] What am I supposed to do?
[01:07.63] No way of knowing
[01:08.39] So I follow you down your twisting alleyways
[01:11.26] Find a few cul-de-sacs of my own
[01:14.20] There's only one place this road ever ends up
[01:17.42] And I don't want to die alone
[01:19.24] Let me down, let me down, let me down gently
[01:23.25] When the police come to get me
[01:25.07] I'm listenin' to dance music
[01:28.79] Dance music
[01:31.26]
