"Old Orchard Beach" lyrics

"Old Orchard Beach"

Was there some part of you
Tail or hunchback
That, when they cut it off, grew back?

You were a little girl
With starry eyes
Now you're a sad young man and no one knows why

When we go dancing
Underneath the city in the catacombs
When we go dancing
The strobe lights and the disco will bring us home

I know Old Orchard Beach
Is where you belong
You can go back but, baby
That won't make you young
The wind will blow, or it won't
The stars come out, or they don't
The world goes 'round, or we get thrown into the stars

When we go dancing
Underneath the city in the catacombs
When we go dancing
The strobe lights and the disco will bring us home
