Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every Saturday night Hey, 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 [Verse 2] 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 adrenaline bliss in your life In your life [Chorus] But we laughed and drank in that jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every Saturday night Yeah, 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 [Bridge] Oh I'm gonna go out tonight I'm gonna drive up to the hill Hey, I'm gonna dive on into those city lights And I'm gonna dance, dance Dance 'til I get my fill [Chorus] Oh we laughed and drank in that jukebox light Tore the rug in that downtown dive Every Saturday night Yeah, for fifty cents we'd dance all night long Each new tune we swore that's our song It felt so right Well I know, I know ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance [Outro] You say sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, baby Oh, oh, oh, oh Ah-ha, oh no Oh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, baby, baby Oh ho, yeah, ho Come on, come on, come on and dance Dance Come on, come on sha-la-la Sha-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
