Dance Pattern - Electric Six

She says she loves these United States of America

And the flag for which it stands, of thee I sing

She tells me she’s a liar, but I don’t believe her

She tells me almost anything

Placing your bet on a horse that never left the gate, now

You’ve got nothing left on your plate

But it’s better than walking around looking for another man to subjugate

Better than wondering what it was she just ate, oh

Did I make a mistake

When I turned it on?

Was my dance pattern right?

Was my dance pattern wrong?

Did I make a mistake

When I sang this song?

Was my vox too sexy?

Was my vox too strong?

Now you navigate your way around the treacherous terrain

Try not to step in the Darvocet and the Novocaine

And you’re stuck in the corner listening to some guy talk about his screenplay

And the crazy things he did one night in Spain

My dance pattern is everything that matters to me

The blood splatters, you should see the suckas scatter

Man it really is a sight to see

Well we’ve seen the years go by

But it seems we’ve reached the end of the line

And there ain’t no happy ending when you’re constantly pretending

That the good lord ripped you out of my side

And this time there are no feelings

And it feels like there’s no time

And it feels like it’s time to let my feelings do some time

Do some time, every time

Every time I dance with you
