KEEP DANCIN

Frankie ain't swingin
The King he sounds dry
The songs that once moved me
Now leave me paralysed
Since you left me baby
The birds don't know how to fly
Since you left me baby
I can't tell my left from my right
Since you left me baby
The music's out of time...

But I keep dancing
Just like we used to do
Keep dancing
Put on your dancing shoes
Dancing
Waltz right through these blues

Sweet Nina is vampin'
But it don't feel the same
And man I ain't singing
I'm drowning in this rain
Since you left me baby
The flowers they no longer bloom
Since you left me baby
I can't tell the sun from the moon
Since you left me baby
The music's out of tune...

But I keep dancing
Just like we used to do
Dancing
Kick on your dancing shoes
Dancing just like we used to do
Dancing
Waltz right through these blues...



EVERYBODY'S DRUNK

Everybody's drunk tonight
But you got a face like a wet Wednesday
This party's running down
and I've been lalalalaa
lalalala la la
la la la la
something something something diamond tears
leave you alone after all these years
I've been waiting for you so long
So long....

Let me take ya home
I got a broken wind-chime that plays all night
Let me take ya home
We can dance to the church bells in the
morning light...

Everybody's drunk tonight
Well I been biding my time
(well I ain't that bright)
Gimme one two three four five or six to many...
it eases my mind
and loosens my tongue
So, come on sister, won't you take my hand
Be my Alice, I'll be Wonderland
Come on sister, won't you take my hand
My hand

Let me take ya home
I got a broken wind-chime that plays all night
Let me take ya home
We can dance to the churchbells in the
morning light
morning light...

Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk tonight
evvvvvvrrrrreeeeyyyyyybbbbboooooooddddddddyyyyyyyy

OR

"Okay, you folks in the middle dere...": Everybody's drunk tonight!
"Now everybody else...": Let me take ya home!

Let me take ya home
I got a broken wind-chime that plays all night
Let me take ya home
We can dance to the churchbells in the
morning light
Let me take ya home
I got an old radio
we can shoot it, yeah
Let me take ya home
This ain't a one-night stand, I'll be your
Leading man.



EDGE OF TOWN 
(or, The Lowlander's Love Song :> )

Take me to the edge of town 
We'll watch the evening veil come down 
I'll tell you all my hopes and dreams 
I'll tell you lies, cos I believe 
For me there will be only one 

I'll take you down to Dawson's Well 
I'll make a wish I'll cast a spell 
That you'll remain here by my side 
These selfish thoughts I cannot hide 
Oh for me there will be only one 

Until the skies come pouring down 
Until the seven seas engulf this town 
When my friends are all gone 
Deep inside there's a song 
For me there will be only one 

And every dog in this old town 
I'd slit their throats 
I'd cut them down 
If they should touch your perfect wings 
How could they know such wondrous things 
I'll build a hold of stars and gold 
To dwell within till we grow old 
and all of this may not be true, but 
I'd never really lie to you 
For me there can be only one 
oh for me there will be only one 

Until the sky comes tumbling down 
Until the seven seas engulf this town 
Yeah when everyone's gone 
Only time knows this song 
For me, there will be 
Only one
