[Verse 1]
Well, the hobo's watch stopped at 5 o'clock
I feel I'll never find him
Oh, dear John, where are you?
I know you're out there somewhere
Well, I got a hurricane in my pocket
But no one will believe me
They poured a bucket of tar on top of a flower
Somehow I knew they'd try it, to find it
Defy it, to buy it

[Chorus]
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the pouring rain to the open plain
How many times?

[Verse 2]
Well, I stopped a freight train with a grain of sand
Can you hear it crashing?
I split a mountain in two with a flake of snow
Still they won't believe me
Well, the tales were tall and the stories were old
For some reason, I believed them
I said, "What do you know about revolution?"
When all I was taught was patience and waiting
And making a statement
[Chorus]
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Said the firefly to the hurricane
Said the pouring rain to the open flame
How many times?

[Outro]
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
Oh, let's go dancing
How many times?
