"I Don't Dance" lyrics

Always lost at sea
Bottles drifting in waters
Love's still love when lone men sing
It clings to hearts that drugs can't ease
I'll wait (I'll wait)
It's not the partner it's the dance I fear
Forgive the whistling tongues
Forget the missing steps
For there's no home for those who suffer
And there's no hope for those who dance
I'll wait (I'll wait)
I'll wait (I'll wait)
I won't dance with you
And now comes the night

If there's someone here looking out for me
Find the pariahs by the sea

Here there's nothing left for us
'Cause there's nothing left to lose, nothing left to fight for
I can't see the difference between a few and so much more
I ain't the shadow of an answer, or the shadow of a fight
And my shoes do suck for dancing without class
Take me out of the water, wake me after the night
It just sucked when you wrote party on a flier that said waltz

And tonight
Oh, tonight I will spare my feet hundreds of blebs
For I don't dance

It's raining knives inside the ballroom
And you dance on broken glass
It's all you've been told to do
After long years that wouldn't pass
Make your choice on the partner
And make the fucker smile
And spin, spin, spin, spin until you realize

How can one be so grateful
With your vomit on their pants?
Something made the whole room
Full of crystal again
But you're not allowed to touch
No, you're not allowed to care
And you end up alone in the night
As he slips from your hands
Cowards, infamy
Liars, one by one they quit
You'll never dance again
And you burn this stupid dress
Five years later
Same faces, same dance

You said, "Never dance again, never dance again"
You said, "Never dance again, never dance again"
