Lyrics

DA - DA - DA - DANCE

VERSE 1
So many things that I'd do instead
Than go back to high school, I'd rather be dead
Bang my head up against the wall
My head is ringing like a telephone call
In your mind and in your head
Words won't form and won't be said
Talk with your feet and take a chance
Music or not let's da - da - dance

CHORUS
My generation has come and gone
My time is short and my history long
Counting out a few more of my pages
I have changed with each one of my ages
Lost are some of my youthful outrages

VERSE 2
Drinking wine from a paper cup
We got so sick that we both threw up
We did it then 'cuz our flesh was young
Dumb was smart and smart was dumb
In your mind and in your head
White is black and black is re(a)d
Stop thinking now and take a chance
Music or not let's da - da - dance

CHORUS

VERSE3
Tell me you love me and I'll be your man
I promise I'll do the best I can
Squeeze you, love you, hold you tight
Tell me that you'll stay tonight
In my mind and in my head
Don't dwell on old ground we've tread
C'mon darling, take a chance
Music or not let's da - da - dance

CHORUS

C'mon darling, take a chance
Music or not let's da - da - dance
Music or not let's da - da - da da - da - da da-da-dance
