jim carroll - dance the night away lyrics
jim carroll band
i write your name
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 . . .
