"Let's Go Dancing" lyrics
(originally by Drivin N Cryin)
The hobo's watch stopped at 5 o'clock
I fear I'll never find him
Oh dear, John, where are you?
I know you're out there somewhere
Well, I've got a hurricane in my pocket
But no one will believe me
They poured a bucket of tar on top of a flower
Somehow I knew they'd try it
To find it, and defy it, and to buy it
Oh, let's go dancing
Let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
Stopped a freight train with a grain of sand
Can't you hear it crashing?
I split a mountain in two with a flake of snow
Still, they won't believe me
His tales were tall, the stories were old
For some reason, I believed him
Said, "What do you know about revolution?"
When all I was taught was patience
And waiting, and making a statement
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
Let's go dancing
Let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
I fear I'll never find him
Oh dear, John, where are you?
I know you're out there somewhere
Well, I've got a hurricane in my pocket
But no one will believe me
They poured a bucket of tar on top of a flower
Somehow I knew they'd try it
To find it, and defy it, and to buy it
Oh, let's go dancing
Let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
Stopped a freight train with a grain of sand
Can't you hear it crashing?
I split a mountain in two with a flake of snow
Still, they won't believe me
His tales were tall, the stories were old
For some reason, I believed him
Said, "What do you know about revolution?"
When all I was taught was patience
And waiting, and making a statement
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
Let's go dancing
Let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the falling rain to the open flame
How many times?
