Elefant - Tonight Let's Dance Lyrics

She was wearing her favorite dress
She was waving a blue handkerchief
She was laughing aloud in the corner of the room
But she was dancing alone

Chorus

So I walked up to her, grabbed her arms to show the world
Tonight we'll dance like we're in love

She was standing beneath the chandelier
I offered her chocolate and some beer
She said no, I said why, she said no, I said why
And stayed dancing alone

Chorus

So I walked up to her, grabbed her arms to show the world
Tonight we'll dance like we're in love

I look down on her
She looks up at me
All I want is all her love
All I want is all her love

Chorus

Tonight we'll dance
Tonight we'll dance
Tonight we'll dance
All night long like we were in love STATIC ON CHANNEL 4
Moon and stars above us shine
Everybody knows you're mine
Static on the channel 4
Television radio, hold me close when you are cold
Now I've got to get us home, everybody knows you're stoned

Chorus

And when you hear me calling
You will turn away and see me standing there
Waving my old colors, lifting up my arms
And you will understand

Kiss me on the lips again
Millions are just tuning in
satellites begin to spin
Listen close and let me in

Chorus

And when you hear me calling
You will turn around and see me standing there
Waving my old colors, lifting up my arms
And you will understand

You will understand SUNLIGHT MAKES ME FEEL PARANOID
The sunlight's making me feel paranoid
I look outside and see the world at war
The people walk to work like they're alone
I sit in silence staring at the phone

Chorus

And it helps me breathe, And it helps me see

I cover up my eyes to block the light
I cover up my eyes and try to fight, the fall

Chorus

And it helps, When I come down, And it helps

The sunlight's making me feel paranoid
I look outside and see the world at war
The people laugh and play like they're alone
They're watching us while we sleep in our homes
I never, I never meant to shut you out
All I know and all I need is you
I never, I never meant to cause alarm
All I know and all I need and all I got is gonna bleed

Chorus

It helps, when I come down, It helps, when I come down

It helps me breathe, When I come down
ANNIE
The smell of the ocean on her skin
The rags of her dress blowing in the wind
A chorus of angels on the boardwalk
They know what you did in the dark

Chorus

I never meant to hurt you Annie
Leave you standing with the gun
Come and play with me little Annie
Lose yourself, lose yourself

I lay her back on the cold sand
And wipe the blood from her hand
I fix her hair and kiss her chest
The secrets die in her breathe

Chorus

I never meant to hurt you Annie
Leave you standing with the gun
Come and play with me little Annie
Lose yourself, lose yourself

Oh no, her hands are cold
Oh no, I played with her soul
All night again
I'm alone LOVE
I want the girl all dressed in white
She turns and says hello
She changes colors like a bird
I grab her wings and fly away
She takes me high and leaves me there
I never want that down

Chorus

Love, It's a beautiful place, It's a beautiful taste
Where I am now, where I am now, And I belong

The gentle high is all to blame
I cried for seven days
I feel myself losing control
To all the voices in my soul
There is the girl in white again
I need the sugar from her hand

Chorus

Love, It's a beautiful place, It's a beautiful taste
Where I am now, where I am now, And I belong

And it's such a wonderful way, We're making love right now
And it's such a wonderful way, you feel me up inside

Chorus

Love, It's a beautiful place, It's a beautiful taste
Where I am now, where I am now, And I belong ESTER
Ester why do you look all blue
What did I say to you to make you feel all blue
Ester when you walk in the room
everybody turns to look at you

Chorus

And that night when I called you
I was being young
And the way I tried to win you
I was being young, I was being young

Ester why can't you talk to me
Why can't you look at me
Why can't sit with me
Ester with your lips all full
With your heart all full, is there room for two

Chorus

And that night when I called you
I was being young
And the way I tried to win you
I was being young, I was being young
