Dancing in the Street
Isaac And The Soul Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Crumbling into the distance
It's been a big night, I can find my way home
Saw you in the dark place, laughing at the light
Making jokes about the system
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
I'm sorry for being easy
To wrap your head around
You were so angry at the laughing stock downtown
Stumbling zombie on the edge of the freeway
You call the police, they say they're on their way
But you can't pull over
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Either way it's been a real good time
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
Mango dangling in the heat, plastic bag
Coconut in the street, plastic bag
I'm living in the median and I can see you drive by every day, plastic bag
I'd have done it differently, plastic bag
If I knew another way, plastic bag
I'm living in the median and I can see you drive by every day
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
Either way it's been a real good time
Tired of trying to bring you back
Double back flip of the new glass tower downtown
Is that you they found? Is that your enemy?
Is that the friend you always meant to be?
We're all going to the corner bar
See you in the morning if I don't make it that far
