Okay 

fine 

when she starts to sway 

the floor is blacker than the sea.


she says "oh well oh well you do just fine 

just spinning drifting trying to stay in time with me 

pretend those casters rolling are your feet "


boys are staring and they wait for dances 

in lines as long as country miles 

the girls' voices drift like anesthesia 

and the smiles can last for days and...


on and on 

when we go to sleep 

and wake to another brand new day 

she says "oh well oh well you do just fine 

just dreaming wishing trying to close your eyes 

think of me 

pretend that we're both older than we seem" 


boys are staring and they wait for dances 

in lines as long as country miles 

the girls' voices drift like anesthetia

and the smiles can last for days and days 


Lost cause kids are okay

No, they wouldn't be long

Sticky sweet and quit insane

So, so insane
