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
