Lyrics

[Verse 1] You drown yourself in books And party through the night You think the time is wrong But the time is right And what you can't face yourself You dump on someone else And you say [Chorus] Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight [Verse 2] You always disappear Let's see if anyone cares But this time it don't work And they all leave you there And when you come back to town She's not around And you say [Chorus] Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight [Piano Break] [Verse 3] The endless line of cars Goes stretching down the road But you won't telephone 'Cause she might say hello But she knows where you're at And you can't handle that And I say [Chorus] You don't need a wrecking ball Wrecking ball The only crime in the street Is walking in your feet
