Dave Deporis - Violent Dancing Lyrics

Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade
Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade
Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade
Oh the games, the children play
And I don't pretend to love you, I just do
And I don't pretend to love you, I just do
And I don't pretend to love you, I just do
Still it's slightly scary when there's nothing there to hold on to
So, I try to be a lifeboat
But the kids these days wear spikes and chains
I ask mom what's for dinner
And she says you, she says it so plain
That she might not be joking...
Dear mom's never been one to kid
So I go violent dancing, when I need to get off the grid
I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders
I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders
I go violent dancing...
THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED
THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED
THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED
AFTER YEARS OF WAR, THE SKY
IT
CORKSCREWED
AGROUND
If I only had a skateboard,I could sell it and buy stock for free
I would make myself an army
Of commas and apostrophes
But this country's not that gentle
And we use far too much gasoline
Astronomers are dying, it's time to set priorities
I'll buy toys for the children,but who will give them food to eat?
I protest where we're going
But who's got the chords and who's got the beat
To compete in this market?
I peek inside to see who's home
Cos when I go violent dancing
I prefer to not go alone
I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders
I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders
I go violent dancing, throw the world right off my shoulders
I go violent dancing, throw the world right off my shoulders
And my heart it
It is shattering like glass
Every time I turn my head
My neck it seems to snap right back
There's better ways to spend my time
There's penguins and there's crocodiles
You build a saddle and you ride away
At the end of the day
Hurry up, there's not much left
Hurry up, there's not much left
Hurry up, there's not much left...
