Bright Eyes - Dance and Sing lyrics

Got to keep on going like it ain’t the end
Got to change like your
Life is depending on it
It’s a long time coming and
We’re taking it in what a wild ruse

See the cold moon
Hanging like the pennant above
Too many ice cream socials with the
Promise ring love
Had to shoot all the targets
At the carnival 'cause you needed hard proof

I read God is dead, I shed some tears for him
But I swear on his grave
I’ll never do it again and I screamed when I
Realized what was happening
That I had good news

I’ll grieve what I have lost
Forgive the firing squad
How imperfect life can be
Now all I can do is just dance on through

See the Coast Guard coming
Save the drowning men
Out by Catalina Island they abandoned ship
All the news trucks piled up
With starts and fit's coming from Point Dume

It’s the last ditch effort
Makes no sense to try
Put more gas on the tires
Put more wood on the fire
Warm your hands up ‘cause we’ll
Probably be here a while
If you want the honest truth

Don’t turn your cheek away
Please don’t resuscitate
Make an example out of me
Because all I can do is just dance on through
And sing

Got a diamond cold heart and
I got it in spades
With the Walkman fading like an audio slave
It’s a self-induced seizure like a
Kid at a rave smeared in Day-Glo paint

And all the popular prophets want
To take me to task
Well, it’s just your opinion so
I’d rather not ask
But I got me a cane and I’m spinning it fast
As the band plays

Don’t read my worried mind
That smoking gun passing through time
I’m yours, you can decide
What fate I’ll have on the firing line
Because now all I can do
Is just dance on through and sing

With every note there is
With every note there was each passing chord
There was only love with every step there is
With every step that was spinning around
There was only love only love, only love
It was a slow dance for us
There was only love
