The Grand Ol’ Waltz

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I walk down the street, I see mercy disguised as broken men Their hands out asking for a dime or a dollar, for rent or perhaps some gin When I say "don't got none," their eyes run right pass me and dance upon the sun That's when I saw this sixty year old man notice, his life Did go and come [Hook] And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah And as she cries, cause her father lied, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance They used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance [Verse 2] When I first saw her she pretended not to see me And that is okay 'Cause I know I hurt her, and probably deserve Every distant and fearful gaze I don't know where it came from, I just pushed her, she fell so gracefully Then I looked in the mirror and saw every man my mom dated had trickled into me [Hook] And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah And as we remind that he watched his friend die, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance They used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah And who knew that he would see his born-again seed, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance I don't know what's going on, and I can't pretend to I used to dance, dance, dance, dance All I can do is rest her into my arms, but I still twitch and turn to I used to dance,dance, dance, dance [Verse 3] I lift my hand to a God I don't understand and fear too We're placed here to decide to live or to die, but we have no choice to choose And as we spin around and around in circles I just want to get home You say "you'll get there later," but what about now, can't you smell the holocaust? [Hook] And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah And as pray for his mom that passed away, we sing hallelujah I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance They used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance And as we dance this final romance, we sing hallelujah And as she cries, cause her father lied we sing hallelujah (2X) I used to dance, dance, dance, dance, dance I don't know what's going on, and I can't pretend to I used to dance, dance, dance, dance All I can do is rest in her arms, but I still twitch and turn to
