The Hold Steady - You Gotta Dance lyrics
[The Hold Steady - You Gotta Dance lyrics]
Say a prayer for the cityscape skins
Half are getting sprung and half
Are going back in
There ain't no getting through to Gideon
He lost his mind when they jumped him in
Say a prayer for sweet Charlemagne
He had the pigs at the door he
Put the drugs down the drain
He's gonna have to come up with
Seven grand some other way
The gangster disciples knocked me
Off of my bicycle
It was midnite down by Selby and Griggs
I shouldn't have gone down there but
It was too late to switch
You gotta dance with who you came with
You gotta go with what got you there
I came with chipped teeth and
Some bleached blonde hair
You gotta make due with what they gave to you
They took ten bux and my tennis shoes
So say a prayer for the boys in the band
I was out of my head so
It was out of my hands
White wine and some tallboy cans
They powered up and they proceeded to jam man
Hit it again on the south side of the gym and
My one friend got two girls in a twist
I got stuck with some priss that
Went and sliced up her wrists
But, you know you gotta dance with who
You came to the dance with
Half are getting sprung and half
Are going back in
There ain't no getting through to Gideon
He lost his mind when they jumped him in
Say a prayer for sweet Charlemagne
He had the pigs at the door he
Put the drugs down the drain
He's gonna have to come up with
Seven grand some other way
The gangster disciples knocked me
Off of my bicycle
It was midnite down by Selby and Griggs
I shouldn't have gone down there but
It was too late to switch
You gotta dance with who you came with
You gotta go with what got you there
I came with chipped teeth and
Some bleached blonde hair
You gotta make due with what they gave to you
They took ten bux and my tennis shoes
So say a prayer for the boys in the band
I was out of my head so
It was out of my hands
White wine and some tallboy cans
They powered up and they proceeded to jam man
Hit it again on the south side of the gym and
My one friend got two girls in a twist
I got stuck with some priss that
Went and sliced up her wrists
But, you know you gotta dance with who
You came to the dance with
