"Dancing In The Courthouse" lyrics

"Dancing In The Courthouse"

Weather controls your day
People make up your mind
Until you can't even tell
When someone gives you a sign

But we make the ground our grave by layin' in it
We make our problems fade by facin' 'em
We make the wind our wings by raisin' your arms
At the top of the world, yeah

Put 'em on trial
On trial
Make 'em dance for it in the courthouse
Make a stand for it or it don't count
Or it don't count
Be the landlord of the whole town
Of the whole town
Put 'em on edge
On edge
Make the judge jump and hit the two-step
Yeah, hit the two-step
And make the jury come up with two guesses
Come up with two guesses
And lose interest, then they make up a new sentence

Aye, Hell or high water, we cover for you like camouflage
And it's not over till a fat woman sing hella high
Hey
Tap dancin' in my
Hey
Until I feel a change in my day-to-day on a daily basis

We make the love that keeps our world spinnin'
We make the gods our friends by cursin' 'em
We make the wind our wings by raisin' your arms
At the top of the world, yeah

Put 'em on trial
On trial
Make 'em dance for it in the courthouse
Yeah, in the courthouse
Make a stand for it or it don't count
Or it don't count
Be the landlord of the whole town
Of the whole town
Put 'em on edge
On edge
Make the judge jump and hit the two-step
Yeah, hit the two-step
And make the jury come up with two guesses
Come up with two guesses
And lose interest, then they make up a new sentence
New sentence

I'm through plannin', she livin' like a loose cannon
Then lose, man, that's so funny, I should do standup
I'm rude and a superhero like Bruce Banner
But truth is, ain't nothin' that you could do

Put 'em on trial
Make 'em dance for it in the courthouse
Yeah, in the courthouse
Make a stand for it or it don't count
Or it don't count
Be the landlord of the whole town
Put 'em on edge
On edge
Make the judge jump and hit the two-step
Yeah, hit the two-step
And make the jury come up with two guesses
Come up with two guesses
And lose interest, then they make up a new sentence
A new sentence

Put 'em on trial
Make 'em dance for it in the courthouse
Yeah, in the courthouse
Make 'em dance for it in the courthouse
