Dance With Me - Lyrics by Ian Janis


Lyrics
And when the war was over
I went dancing in the streetswith the corpse of my dead brotherto the sacrificial beatthe Boy Scouts and the Legionnairescome home from overseassinging Glory Hallelujah!to the swank Gestapo beat
Hallelujah
I've never been
In the whole of my lifean intelligent sacrifice
Hallelujah
Give me a reasonto go on believingand I'm readyto pay the price
I heard of a planin the president's mansion(high up in the sky)
It called for a sacrificeand my brother paid the price
Sent him home in a bag,
Tha American flagwas draped around the box
The coffin lid was locked
The note said Thanks a lot
Some and dance with me
I'm home from overseas
I'm a corpse up to my knees
Celebrate the victory
Do you want to danceand hold me tight?I'm feeling most diseasedbut I'm easier to please
Come and dance
