Can She Dance - Dr. Dog

All the money in the world couldn’t save her from herself

She’s such a loner, I can’t understand

I go drink with her but now I can’t control myself

I get excited, I get upset

But she’s such a scream, you know I owe her everything

All us golden children, we owe her everything

But when she gets like this she forgets herself

She hates herself too

She says she doesn’t like the way you look or where you’re from

And all her underworld officers, they’re headed out for the night

Oh, Lord, release me

And turn me over to the wheels of fate

Can she dance?

I know that there a place for us

Can she dance?

I know this worlds not too small for us

Can she dance?

And I could love her if she didn’t believe the things she says

Can she dance?

And I could love her if she wasn’t scared

Can she dance?

Last night we were staggering home, she was waving her gun around

Screaming into the night

She swung out of the door just like a wrecking ball

I settled the tab, I started following her

I heard her screaming, I heard her screaming down the street

«You know I’ve never really paid for the things I’ve done»

I said, «No one ever really does, and of course it’s not too late»

Around on the corner I lost sight of her

Crossed the street, caught up to her, turned around, held her hand,

gave her a smoke

She pushed me up against the wall

She said «I'm sick.

Get out the sickness»

I held her hair back while she puked

She was saying over and over and over again

«All these underworld officers, shit, they shoot my sons in the street»

Oh, lord, release me

Oh, lord, release me

And turn me over to the wheels of fate

Can she dance?

Oh, yeah, man, I think you know she can

Can she dance?

But I got hope, I got hope, I got hope that we both can dance

Can she dance?

And I know that there’s a place for us

Can she dance?

And in the tower, behind the golden door, she whispered in my ear

She was holding on to my sleeve

«Let's roll, let’s get outta here»

So we grabbed some things that looked expensive

Put some beers in her purse and we flew

Baby I got hope for us

Just maybe I believe

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?

Can she dance?
