I smoke a cigarette

As i wait in the bath

And i wait for you

For an hour and a half

And i go to the window

Where the sky falls down in rains

And i look across the river

Where they dance the night away



I watch the couples

On the corner of town

Men dressed in black tie

The ladies in gowns

A taxi pulls up

Drives them across the street,

Takes them to a place

Where they dance the night away



Dance the night away

Dance the night away

Dance the night away



I crawl across the bed

Playing the radio low

Trying to forget

What i already know

And i want to sleep

But the song never ends

It comes from a place

Where they dance the night away



I reach in the drawer

And i take out respect

It doctors the sickness

I took years to perfect

And i feel sweet sleep

Like the shadows on a charm

Moves to my brain

Where i dance the night away



Dance the night away

Dance the night away

Dance the night away

Dance the night away

Dance the . . .
