The Gaslight Anthem - We Came To Dance lyrics

rate me

We are the last of the jukebox Romeos,

We are managed by the love before

Came to sing out a chorus, reinvent the good times

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 'em 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 being alone, so come on

And in the sun-stabled arena

Of what's left or become of my America

I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on

And in the sun-stabled arena

Of what's left or would become of my America

I'm asking this dance, so come take my hand, come on

[Chorus]

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 the central Jersey sky

[Chorus]

'Cause you ain't never had a night on the town

Like I could 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

But these are the songs that we sing

Whoa-oh, these are the songs that we sing

You've never seen a two step (two-step)

Like when you seen it from your mama's house

When 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<br />

<br />
