"Let's Go Dancing" lyrics
(feat. The Likely Culprits)
(originally by Drivin' N' Cryin')
Well, the hobo's watch stopped at 5 o'clock
I feel I'll never find him
Oh, dear John, where are you?
I know you're out there somewhere
Well, I 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
Defy it, to buy it
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the pouring rain to the open plain
How many times?
Well, I stopped a freight train with a grain of sand
Can you hear it crashing?
I split a mountain in two with a flake of snow
Still they won't believe me
Well, the tales were tall and the stories were old
For some reason, I believed them
I 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 pouring rain to the open flame
How many times?
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
How many times?
I feel I'll never find him
Oh, dear John, where are you?
I know you're out there somewhere
Well, I 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
Defy it, to buy it
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the pouring rain to the open plain
How many times?
Well, I stopped a freight train with a grain of sand
Can you hear it crashing?
I split a mountain in two with a flake of snow
Still they won't believe me
Well, the tales were tall and the stories were old
For some reason, I believed them
I 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 pouring rain to the open flame
How many times?
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
How many times?
