Gene Kelly

There's a boy who sits alone among a thousand little dreams Wants the break the hearts of hundreds Growing drunk on fevered screams He's running from a shadow that has stalked him all his life It's the darkness that is lurking when You feel like you're dropping out of sight Woah-oh Well he's torn himself to pieces and each night he feels the itch To grab the needle, thread and scalpel. He'll gather, slice and stich And he'll build a brand new person where the current person sits Until he's nothing but a patchwork of other people's greatest hits And every lost evening while time ticks ever on He sings for his supper goes home to write songs Waits for some signal, waits for some break To make him feel better he'll say I wanna dance like Gene Kelly Dress like Elton John Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon Tell the world I'm ready To write their favourite song So folks who never met me will miss me when I'm gone Oh woah oh Oh woah oh Oh woah oh But these dreams don't keep the lights on They don't pay for bread or cheese There's no free ticket for the rockstar with the most convincing pleas And though ambition is a virtue, and desire can breed a king There's no reaction without action. There's no life if you don't sing So kiss goodbye to comfort, say hello to fun Grab your battered guitar. Face the dark and run Halt the shadows creeping, turn up every dial And watch the people smile when you say I wanna dance like Gene Kelly Dress like Elton John Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon Tell the world I'm ready To write their favourite song So folks who never met me will miss me when I'm gone (I wanna dance) I wanna dance dance dance like Gene Kelly (I wanna dance) I wanna dance dance dance like Gene Kelly Woah yeah I wanna dance like Gene Kelly Dress like Elton John Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon Tell the world I'm ready To write their favourite song So folks who never met me will miss me when I'm gone I wanna dance like Gene Kelly Dress like Elton John Give those kids who get me a star to wish upon Tell the world I'm ready To write their favourite song So folks who never met me will miss me when I'm gone (I wanna dance) I wanna dance dance dance like Gene Kelly (I wanna dance) Wanna dance Wanna dance Wanna dance Wanna dance Wanna dance like Gene Kelly
