Dance The Night Away

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 night away Dance the night away Dance the night away
