Dance Hall
Isaac Brock/Modest Mouse Lyrics

I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day.
The singer plans on dancing in the Dance Hall every single day.

Well I'm giving myself another one, I have too much to say.
The singer has a lot on his mind and needs to take another chance to express himself.

I'm gonna angle for telepathy 'cause I don't know the words to say.
Since the singer struggles with finding the right words, he wishes he could communicate telepathically.

Well I'm gonna act up but not in your fuckin' play.
The artist intends to be rebellious but not according to someone else's plans.

I'll let you win the argument if things still go my way.
The artist is willing to compromise in arguments as long as he still achieves what he wants.

I'm gonna dance all Dance Hall every day!
Once again, the singer emphasizes his plan to dance in the Dance Hall every day.

Well I haven't had enough and I said I had my fill.
Despite the singer claiming he's full, he still desires more.

The past does not exist and I'm told it never will.
The artist believes that the past is nonexistent and will always remain that way.

I guess that I'm stuck here like a plant on a windowsill.
The artist feels trapped and stationary in his current situation.

I'm gonna tell you what you want to hear anyways.
The artist will lie and tell people what they want to hear.

I'm gonna give myself a shot, I could get myself a shot, I'm gonna go and try to buy a little more time to kill.
The singer is taking a chance on himself and plans on spending more time being reckless.

I need a can opener, 'cause I got some beans to spill.
The artist has a secret to reveal and needs some help to do so.

Well somehow or another I fell for every scam.
The singer has been fooled or tricked many times.

But I was dancin' on the tin roof, cat be damned.
Despite being deceived, the singer still finds joy in the little things.

Committing crimes running down the alley.
The singer has been involved in illegal activities in the alley.

I am the captain and you are in the galley!
The artist believes he's in charge and others need to follow his lead.

I'm gonna Dance Hall dance all night long right now!
The artist is excited to dance in the Dance Hall all night long.
