Korzen's frustration with the difficulties of being in a band led to the dissolution of Barcelona, and as a result, Sprites has an ever-changing line-up. Participants include Christian Scanniello, Ivan Ramiscal, Kevin Alvir, Armin Pruessner, Derek Strausbaugh, and Reid Dossinger, with only Jason and Amy remaining as constant members.
The band released Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites in 2003 on March Records, the EP Bionic Hands in 2004 through the Spanish label Lejos Discsos and their second album titled Modern Gameplay was released in 2006 through the Darla Records label.
Ask Me To Dance
sprites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask me to dance, ask me to dance, ask me to dance
I've been standing so long by the door
Of the women's lavatory to notice that I'm all alone
And pull me on the dance floor
this is your only chance, this is your last chance
Ask me to dance!
Ask me to dance
Ask me to dance, ask me to dance, ask me to dance
the floor is magnetic
Don't think me pathetic
I'm close to the DJ would you like an introduction?
Look in my direction, please don't avert your glance
this is your only chance, this is your last chance
This is your last chance
Ask me to dance!
this is your this is your last chance
This is your this is your last chance
This is your this is your last chance
This is your this is your last chance
Ask me to dance!
