the gaslight anthem | we came to dance

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 em cry, so come on
,
strike up the band with a song that everybody knows.
if i’m not your kind, then don’t tell a soul.
i’m not the one who hates being alone so come on.

‘cause you ain’t never had a night on the town
, 
like i could show you such a night on the town
.
you ain’t never had a song you could sing
.
it’s a deep dark night, and i hear you, i’ve been there,

and these are the songs we sing
,
whoa, these are the songs we sing.

you ain’t 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 in town

we learned from the very best dancers around
,
we learned from the very best dancers in town,
so come take my hand
.

and i always have remembered, in case you’re wondering, 84 takes a lifetime and bobby does it better. i still sing ‘em ragged for you and maria, i don’t drive nowhere without the radio on. we always loved the sad sad songs.
