I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
Thank you I’m feeling better
Fuck you and fuck your letter
And fuck your corporate boss
I heard the cops were on it
But they made nothing from it
I’m saying nothing to them
Do you think I’ll let this vanish?
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
I came to one conclusion
Let there be no confusion
You didn’t have the guts
When they were speaking to you
I think they saw right through you
You didn’t have the guts
You didn’t have the guts
I loved you sore, raw, and rough
I came to dance, I came to dance
You picked a fight
You did the thing, you claimed to win
I left at midnight
Thank you for being crafty
You meant to smack one on me
You showed me to the door
But I was on the level
Instead of getting heaven
I left you needing more
I left you needing more
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
Hope springs eternal
Fickle for a friend
Everything’s eternal in the end
The End.
