The Gaslight Anthem – We Came To Dance lyrics

"We Came To Dance"

We are the last of the jukebox romeos,
we are managed by the love before
can we sing out the chorus reinvent the good times
back home again

[Chorus:]
Honey we came to dance with the girls with the stars in their eyes
jump back jack stop and slide to the right
never break their hearts never make em cry so 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 of the arena
what's left or become of my America
I'm masking a stance so come take my hand, come on

And in the sun of the arena
what's left or become of my America
I'm masking a stance so come take my hand, come on

[Chorus]

And if I end it all by the end of tonight
if the big bomb drops down over this quiet ederson sky
we'll blow one last kiss to all the beautiful nights like this
under the central jersey sky

[Chorus]

You ain't never had a night on the town
like I could show you a night on the town
you never had a song you could sing
and it's a deep dark night, I hear you, I been there
and these are the songs I can sing
and these are the songs I can sing
you ain't never seen a two step like
when you seen it from your mums house
we learned from the very best dancers around
we learned from the very best dancers in town

Come take my hand
