Dance With Me Lyrics


And when the war was over
I went dancing in the streets
With the corpse of my dead brother
To the sacrificial beatThe Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires
Came home from overseas
Singing Glory Hallelujah!
To the swank Gestapo beatHallelujah, hallelujah
I've never been
In the whole of my life
An intelligent sacrifice
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Give me a reason
To go on believing
And I'm ready
To pay the price
I heard of a plan
In the president's mansion
(High up in the sky)

It called for a sacrifice
And my brother paid the priceSent him home in a bag,
The American flag
Was draped around the box
And the coffin lid was locked
And the note said Thanks a lotCome and dance with me
Come and dance with me
I'm home from overseas
I'm a corpse up to my knees
Celebrate the victory
Do you want to dance
And hold me tight?
I'm feeling most diseased
And I need your company
Come and danceCome and dance, come and dance
I'm home from overseas
And I need your company
Celebrate the victory
Would you like to dance
And hold me tight?
I'm feeling most diseased
But I'm easier to please
Come and dance, come and dance
