Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic lyrics

[Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic lyrics]

Dance apocalyptic
Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now
Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic
Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now
(Ah) Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic

You're going crazy
The hitmen always find you
Do that dance, smoking in the girls' room
Kissin' friends, it's over like a comic book
Exploding in a bathroom stall, ah
She's so freaked out
Worried 'bout the bomb threat
You bought a house
But I'm allergic to the house pets
Credit cards, they bought a new wife for
Shiny little lonely men

But, I really, really want to thank you for
Dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But, I need to know if the
World says it's time to go
(Dance apocalyptic) Tell me
Will you break out?
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang ooh baby
But, I need to know if the
World says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang

You gotta laugh at the zombie
In the front yard
Take a bath, but nothing gets the funk off
You're on TV, rockin' and a-rollin'
'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
(The dead just love to rock and roll)
Sick and tired of food tasting plastic
You wanna cry
But they grew up without a real kitchen
Asking why the pain is always equal
But the joy just never spreads around
(Uh uh, uh uh)

But, I really, really want to thank you for
Dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
(You found a way to break out)
You're not afraid to break out
(You're not afraid to break out)
But, I need to know if the
World says it's time to go
(Dance apocalyptic) Tell me
Will you break out?
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang hey baby
But, I need to know if the
World says it's time to go
(Dance apocalyptic) Tell me
Will you break out?
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang (I love you)
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang

You're going crazy
The hitmen always find you
Do that dance, smoking in the girls' room
Kissing friends, keep a-rockin' and a-rollin'
'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
(The dead just love to rock and roll)
So freaked out, worried 'bout the bomb threat
Bought a house
But I'm allergic to the house pets
Credit card, you're working nine-to-five
Just to make enough to pay your rent

But, I really, really want to thank you for
Dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But, I need to know if the
World says it's time to go
(Dance apocalyptic) Tell me
Will you break out? Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Oh, baby, baby i need to know if the world
Says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic now)
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Bands, they make her dance apocalyptic)
Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang

(Bands, they make her dance) I've been
Look at you
You look just like a little old earthquake
(Dance apocalyptic) Break it, break it
(Dance apocalyptic) You got to break it
Ain't no order in this courtroom
(Smash, smash, bang, bang)
You all going to jail
(Don't stop, sha lang-a lang-a lang)

What's the matter? Your chicken
Taste like pork?
You have triplets instead of twins?
Is your food taste plastic?
Grandaddy, I think I wanna dance
