You Used to Love to Dance

Lying in a city night

A million fingers tingling my skin

Out thee 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

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light

And we tore the rug in that downtown dive

Every Saturday night

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

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 adrenalin bliss in your life

In your life

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light

And we tore the rug in that downtown dive

Every Saturday night

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

I'm gonna go out tonight

I'm gonna drive up to the hill

I'm gonna dive on into those city lights

And I'm gonna dance, dance

Dance till I get my fill

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light

And we tore the rug in that downtown dive

Every Saturday night

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
