lyrics

The girl that you knew stands there waiting for you
You nearly walked right on by
With a smile and a stare, she returns you to there
And you follow to join at the back of the line
With those that you can't leave behind

Destruction created is never unmade
You made her go die with the flies in the sky
And she'll never come back no she'll never come back...

(Chorus)
Dance, dance is all you remember a shattering disco of glittering lights
She said in a whisper, "I'd lay off the liquor if I were you tonight"

A promise that's broken is always a token of how you lost her that night
She'll spit on your shovel and dig up your gravel with a shovel that's made out of led

(Chorus)

Some day you'll remember that night in September
What was she doing you don't even know
She laid there and prayed there and asked for an answer
An ending a get out
A way to get home

The door was left open the lights were all on
When you got back you knew something was wrong
You crept cross the floorboards pushed open the door
Lying in a heap was a skeletons claw

Her eyes were all puffy her hair was all grey
Bones all broken skin melted away
You fell to your knees catching words you should say
Then you lay down and wept like a bird without prey

Dance dance is all you remember a shattering disco of glittering lights
Dance dance is all you remember a shattering disco of glittering lights
Dance dance is all you remember a shattering disco of glittering lights
She said in a whisper, I'd lay off the liquor
If I were you tonight!
