Lyrics

[Verse 1] We are the last of the jukebox Romeos We are romantics by the light of the four way We came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times And bring it all back home again [Chorus] Honey, we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes Do the jump back, jack, stop and slide to the right Never break their hearts, never make them cry, come on Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows If I'm not your kind, then don't tell a soul I'm not the one who hates bein' alone, so come on [Verse 2] And in this unstable arena of what's left or become of my America I'm askin' this dance so come take my hand, come on And in this unstable arena of what's left or become of my America I'm askin' this dance so come take my hand, come on [Chorus] Honey, we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes Do the jump back, jack, stop and slide to the right Never break their hearts, never make them cry, come on Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows If I'm not your kind, then don't tell a soul I'm not the one who hates bein' alone, so come on [Bridge] And if they end it all by the end of tonight If the big bomb drops down over this quiet Edison sky We'll blow one last kiss to all the beautiful nights like this Under this central Jersey sky [Chorus] Honey, we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes Do the jump back, jack, stop and slide to the right Never break their hearts, never make them cry, come on Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows If I'm not your kind, then don't tell a soul I'm not the one who hates bein' alone, so come on [Outro] 'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town Like I can show you such a night on the town And you ain't never had a song you could sing Well, it's a deep dark night, and I hear you, I've been there And these are the songs that we sing Oh, these are the songs that we sing You've never seen a two-step Like when you've seen it from your mama's house Where the kids flash like lightning To the very best dancers around We learned from the very best dancers around We learned from the very best dancers in town Come take my hand 'Cause mama, we came to dance
