"Time To Dance" lyrics

"Time To Dance"

Well, she's not bleeding on the ballroom floor
Just for the attention
'Cause that's just ridiculously odd
Well, she sure is gonna get it
Here's the setting:
Fashion magazines line the walls now
The walls line the bullet holes

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say, "Shotgun," you say, "Wedding."
Shotgun wedding, shotgun wedding

She didn't choose this role
But she'll play it and make it sincere
So, you cry, you cry
Give me a break
But they believe it from the tears
And the teeth right down to the blood
At her feet
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine Dreams
(Give me a break, break, break)

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Have some composure
Where is your posture?
Oh, no, no
You're pulling the trigger
Pulling the trigger
All wrong

Come on
This is screaming, "Photo op!"
Op
Come on, come on
This is screaming
This is screaming
This is screaming, "Photo op!"

Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys, baby
Boys will be boys

Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention
Give me envy, give me malice, baby, give me a break!
When I say, "Shotgun," you say, "Wedding."
Shotgun wedding, shotgun wedding

Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen
And boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Hiding in estrogen
And wearing Aubergine Dreams

"Time To Dance" was inspired by Chuck Palahniuk's book "Invisible Monsters" and these lyrics contain quotes from this novel. The members of the band are big fans of Palahniuk's books.
