lyrics

electrical fire burned down the ballroom
and since then things around here haven't been the same
electrical wires swing in the wind
and I search the dial for the song that we sang

soon it'll all go under
just like I promised you
when we were younger
the whole world is falling
falling towards something
we will all go together
if we go at all

high heels click on the kitchen floor tile
tonight I think I'll dance with the devil awhile

I miss the taste of the pavement
the creosote whispering in the dry heat of the summertime
but I remember better the flash of your t-shirt
superimposed on the steel of the december sky

all when we were young
and the whole world
was light as heaven
and we all were falling
falling towards something
now we are lucky
if we feel it at all

put on my black horns and dress me in style
tonight I think I'll dance with the devil awhile

there was something buried here 25 years ago
by your mom and dad in the days when they still were in love
a meteorite that dazzled with light
when we gathered there and held it up to the rays of the sun

it's a parking lot now
and nobody really knows
where the stone can be found
the whole world is falling
falling towards something
we will all go together
if we go at all

and there ain't no one else around for miles
tonight I think I'll dance with the devil awhile
