Electric Six
Dance Pattern
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus (x2)]
