Dr. Dog - Can She Dance lyrics

All the money in the world
Couldn't save her from herself
She's such a loner, I can't understand
I go drink with her but
Now I can't control myself
I get excited, I get upset
But she's such a scream
You know I owe her everything
All us golden children, we owe her everything
But when she gets like
This she forgets herself
She hates herself too
She says she doesn't like the way
You look or where you're from
And all her underworld officers
They're headed out for the night
Oh, Lord, release me
And turn me over to the wheels of fate
Can she dance?

I know that there a place for us
Can she dance?
I know this worlds not too small for us
Can she dance? And I could love her if she
Didn't believe the things she says
Can she dance?
And I could love her if she wasn't scared
Can she dance?
Last night we were staggering home
She was waving her gun around
Screaming into the night

She swung out of the door
Just like a wrecking ball
I settled the tab, I started following her
I heard her screaming
I heard her screaming down the street
"You know I've never really paid
For the things I've done"
I said, "No one ever really does
And of course it's not too late"
Around on the corner I lost sight of her
Crossed the street, caught up to her
Turned around, held her hand
Gave her a smoke
She pushed me up against the wall
She said "I'm sick get out the sickness"
I held her hair back while she puked
She was saying over and over and over again
"All these underworld officers, shit
They shoot my sons in the street"
Oh, lord, release me oh, lord, release me
And turn me over to the wheels of fate

Can she dance?
Oh, yeah, man, I think you know she can
Can she dance? But, I got hope, I got hope
I got hope that we both can dance
Can she dance?
And I know that there's a place for us
Can she dance?
And in the tower, behind the golden door
She whispered in my ear
She was holding on to my sleeve
"Let's roll, let's get outta here"
So we grabbed some things
That looked expensive
Put some beers in her purse and we flew

Baby I got hope for us just maybe I believe
Can she dance? Can she dance?
Can she dance? Can she dance?
Can she dance? Can she dance?
Can she dance? Can she dance?
Can she dance?
