David Baerwald - Dance [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Everybody was nervous
We were serving the dervish
We were feeling observed absurd
And paranoid
Oh! we were paranoid
The telephone lines they
Sputtered and whined
There were banshees howling
From the end of a long void
A wild eyed lady sat on an old hillside
Jamming red hot needles into button sewn doll eyes
You don't believe in voodoo, do you?
I don't but believe it or not
I still went blind
So you want to know a secret?

I learned a little secret
Secret is....
You got to
Dance!

Uh we were sitting relating
We were contemplating
Intellectually masturbating
While the radio was playing
My damsel in distress
Was with the IRS
She had ice blue eyes
And a bulletproof vest
She winked and doused the lights
And we got undressed
(whoo!)
She said "You know how much you owe?"
I said "I know I owe enough to be a party
To your dirty little world war"
But do you want to know a secret?

I got a little secret
Secret is...
You got to
Dance!

I was crawling through the jungle
Embittered and humbled
My walls all crumbled into
Dust and emptiness
Someone caught me when I stumbled
Half naked through the rubble
She kissed me and she mumbled
"Peace and togetherness"
But I was paranoid!
I said "You know how much I owe?"
She said "I know you owe enough to be a party
To my dirty little world war"
But you want to know a secret?

I got a little secret
Secret is...
You got to dance
