The Lawrence Arms - We Are the Champions of the World: The Best Of

The Devil's Takin' Names

Shall we dance?
Or maybe just limp around?
These feet are cold and beat
And strangers to the ground
The sound of the kick is arousin'
The couples are sweet in their love
Tonight we'll stagger up from the basement
Or fall to our deaths from above

You've got those moves and those eyes
I've got these shakes and bad breath, ow

I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
Will never let 'em see me cryin'

(I'm gonna zip on my party suit and show y'all somethin')
(There ain't no such thing as strumpin' for nothin'))
((You can fly with us or hang on to the walls)
(But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls)

I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why
Where are you? Where are you? What are you doing tonight?
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying

I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
I've never tried that
But I know I don't like it
Or maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you? Where are you?
I will never let 'em see me cryin'

So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying
So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
