Can She Dance

All the money in the world couldn't save her from herself She's such a loner, I can't understand I go drink with her but now I can't control myself I get excited, I get upset But she's such a scream, you know I owe her everything All us golden children, we owe her everything But when she gets like this she forgets herself She hates herself too She says she doesn't like the way you look or where you're from And all her underworld officers, they're headed out for the night Oh, Lord, release me And turn me over to the wheels of fate Can she dance? I know that there a place for us Can she dance? I know this worlds not too small for us Can she dance? And I could love her if she didn't believe the things she says Can she dance? And I could love her if she wasn't scared Can she dance? Last night we were staggering home, she was waving her gun around Screaming into the night She swung out of the door just like a wrecking ball I settled the tab, I started following her I heard her screaming, I heard her screaming down the street "You know I've never really paid for the things I've done" I said, "No one ever really does, and of course it's not too late" Around on the corner I lost sight of her Crossed the street, caught up to her, turned around, held her hand, gave her a smoke She pushed me up against the wall She said "I'm sick. Get out the sickness" I held her hair back while she puked She was saying over and over and over again "All these underworld officers, shit, they shoot my sons in the street" Oh, lord, release me Oh, lord, release me And turn me over to the wheels of fate Can she dance? Oh, yeah, man, I think you know she can Can she dance? But I got hope, I got hope, I got hope that we both can dance Can she dance? And I know that there's a place for us Can she dance? And in the tower, behind the golden door, she whispered in my ear She was holding on to my sleeve "Let's roll, let's get outta here" So we grabbed some things that looked expensive Put some beers in her purse and we flew Baby I got hope for us Just maybe I believe Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance? Can she dance?
