lyrics

I didn’t come here to dance, you’d know about it if I had. A little bit like Michael Diamond, a little bit like someone’s Dad. I’m not looking for romance, I’ve got a girlfriend you understand, but this girl’s got a line to a guy with the good stuff and she really wants to talk about the band. Sunglasses at night won’t do much for your eyesight. I’ve got some red eyes that you just can’t hide, I look like an extra from Twilight. We danced so much we thought the night belonged to us. We thought that anything was possible, and, you know what? It probably was. Give me the music, give me the lights. We’re gonna get through this if it takes all night. The third verse is the same as the first, trying not to cry when you’re mouthing the words. Friday night lights just make you look old. Whistle posse! It’s time to go home. Put your hands up like you’re ready to surrender! Put your hands up like you wanna be excused! Oh! You’re so polite, do you want to ask a question? I think I love you but I get confused. Give me the music. Give me the lights. We’re gonna get through this If it takes all night. Waiting for the breakdown. Waiting for the breakdown. Waiting for the breakdown.
