I got a girl You know what I mean It's alright if you don't 'Cause ABBA did when they were writing "Dancing Queen" Sometimes she calls in sick Takes the day off Clears off the bedroom floor Locks the door Dances all day like Baryshnikov And then she goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends And I stay at home I leave the door unlocked I think back to summer camp The little vamp scared all the boys with the dirty talk But out in the tents Among the trees I was so nervous then But I knew when I saw her dance She was what I need And now she goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends And it makes you cry You're going out, it's a Friday night With my photograph, you clutch so tight You know that it's alright I see you dance in the moonlight And the way you move, it looks like flying, flying I got a rock 'n' roll band We never quit Sometimes when I'm on stage, in a haze I have been known to shake my sh*t But when we both get home She turns out the lights Clears off the bedroom floor Locks the door Dances for me alone all night That's why I don't mind When she goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends (Dancing with, dancing with, dancing with, with her friends) She goes out dancing She goes out dancing She goes out dancing with her friends (Dancing with, dancing with, dancing with, with her friends)

I listen for you every night, you know I’m the attic with my radio Turning knobs just like some spaced-out rose of Tokyo I hang a wire up the tallest tree To try to pick up on your frequency And let it flow… They try to off your radio They try to off your radio They try to off your radio But the waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) But there ain’t no sound (ain’t no sound) Well I’ve been hearing you around, you know Like in the feedback at the Frank Black show And in the sound of distant thunder, nice and low Where did you go, my friend? I pushed record and then You let the drum beat go… They try to off your radio They try to off your radio They try to off your radio But the waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) But there ain’t no sound (ain’t no sound) All your brothers come and they bring their receivers Some of them mystics, some are non-believers When we get together and we shine That’s when you come through just fine That’s when you come through just fine They try to off your radio They try to off your radio They try to off your radio But the waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) Waves keep running around (waves keep running around) But there ain’t no sound (ain’t no sound)

You said you wanted me to Write a love song for you Something short and sweet With a quick, danceable beat So I got my pen and paper To write my love out for you Then my little love song Started taking so long I won’t finish soon As the paper fills my room Maybe I could show you Something more infinite like The sound of the ocean Maybe I could refer you to Something more infinite like The way the sun shines All the words came quickly About what you mean to me I wonder how long it took For me to fill three notebooks I’m not trying to write a symphony ‘Cause you know that sh*t just ain’t me But the movements keep on flowing The song just keeps on growing It plays forever, I think Another pen runs out of ink Maybe I could show you Something more infinite like The sound of the ocean Maybe I could refer you to Something more infinite like The way the sun shines You said you wanted me to Write a love song for you Well I tried, I promise But there’s just too much content Maybe I could show you Something more infinite like The sound of the ocean Maybe I could refer you to Something more infinite like The way the sun shines

Marianne, you always said we were two sinners On the long, long road to hell Well, Marianne, there was times when you put me through there But I made it just as well Marianne will still look good when she’s older Marianne will still look good when we’re through Marianne - no one could ever hold her Don’t tell me my love ain’t true Marianne, my choice is you Marianne, you left me when I had nothing But the memory of when you cared Well, Marianne, sometimes at night I get bitter But I come back not even scared Marianne will still look good when she’s older Marianne will still look good when we’re through Marianne - no one could ever hold her After all you put me though Marianne, my choice is you And you ask me how I made it through the ocean you gave me Well I did what I could do Marianne, you always said we’d be together Sometime after we both passed away Well, Marianne, the thing is that I’m not leaving Not until the Judgment Day No, mama, I’m here to stay!

My town is like an island In a sea of wheat and interstate Been shipwrecked here my whole damn life My parents think the place is great My grandma told me stories about dancing on the ocean shore Her voice cracks like the peeling paint That's dying on the kitchen floor On Friday nights, the football boys All gathered in the parking lots And laugh and shout of brotherhood And boast about the girls they’ve got The letters on their jackets meaning something about how they play But destined to mean yesterday with tomorrow rocketing this way And they say, “I don’t wanna stay in Fremont, Nebraska Although it’s OK in Fremont, Nebraska Everybody jump in Fremont, Nebraska Shackled up with love in Fremont, Nebraska” I dreamed of you in halls of gold Dewdrops on your eyelashes Lilac lips so soft and full Diamonds at your fingertips No one understands these visions Where’d they come from – not from here Where you’re cute in the wedding dress You’re sharing with our daughter, dear What a fantastic year! I don’t wanna stay in Fremont, Nebraska Although it’s OK in Fremont, Nebraska Everybody jump in Fremont, Nebraska Shackled up with love in Fremont, Nebraska

I stood there, drunk, and hit your man Ain’t that too much for you to stand? I’ve stayed on your couch so many nights And never once have I paid rent You set me straight but I’m still bent It can’t be easy, putting up with all my sh*t You might stop awhile, but you never quit You never quit Dan’s got a party, let’s all go You’ll be in town for the weekend show You get all dressed up and halfway through the night I’ve messed up your hair But at the end of the evening, you’re still there I just lay there smoking, even though you throw a fit I might stop awhile, but I’ll never quit Never quit The toaster’s broke and there’s no bread Just an empty plate of what you said You don’t think I’m serious enough for you to stay around with me This kitchen’s cold and I’m too old to wait and see You hold up a target you know I’ll never hit I might stop awhile, but I’ll never quit Never quit

There was a time when I left my friends behind To see what I could find A world tense and tight, if you’re different then you fight I tried to speak my mind At night I lay and dream of all my friends ‘Cause you know they’re just like angels Coming down on me ‘Cause you know they’re just like angels That’s what I believe Live for the Judgment Day Don’t trust no one, they say But why should we obey? I’d gladly suffer for my sister or my bother I know they’d do the same I look at you and know I won’t leave again ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels Coming down on me ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels That’s what I believe And they dress so nice in their golden robes And they look at me like I’m a bad man I'll defend my life and the friends I chose I sleep at night - and never alone Don’t you ever even think of judging on my friends ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels Coming down on me ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels That’s what I believe ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels Coming down on me ‘Cause you know you’re just like angels That’s what I believe That’s what I believe All you soldiers and you lovers Make out with one another And when I reach the end And all I got are seeds and stems I look towards my best friends...
