Standing
underneath
a cloud of decades old dust
A dimly lit club filled with
people just like us
And once the music starts to
play and everyone gets up
You ask me not to leave your side,
you don't know to trust
And if it wasn't for the look
in your blue eyes
Illuminated by the spinning
disco lights
An d if it wasn't for the distraction
of people slithering by
Maybe you'd see how good
it is to be alive
A couple drinks, your eyes light up,
you hear your favorite song
You say you're gonna dance,
a quick goodbye, and then you're gone
A minute later, I'm outside again,
I'm all alone
Walking up the sidewalk,
looking for a way back home
An d if it wasn't for the
look in your blue eyes
Il lu minated by the
spinning disc of light
An d if it wasn't for the distraction
of people slithering by
Maybe you'd see how good
it is to be alive
And maybe in a while I'll run
across you on the street
And you can fill me in on everything
you did last week
How your drug -addicted girlfriend
took you back on bended knee
And she won't let you talk to me
La, la, la,
I don't know you very well
La, la, la, la
But I could miss you when
you're gone
La, la, la, la
I didn't know you very long
La, la, la, la
But I'm gonna miss you when
you're gone
La, la, la, la
I didn't know you very well
La, la, la, la
But I'm gonna miss you when
you're gone
La, la, la, la, didn't know you there
at all
you
