Jackson Browne Disco Apocalypse
Down the side streets and the avenues There be sisters walkin' two by two Their dresses and their shoes are new But their hearts are weary thru and thru And it's a long way into the light of day While the juke box and the radio play Where the days turn into the nights People move into the sounds and sights Like the moth is drawn into the lights Like the tight-rope walker into the heights It's in their hearts, it's in their hips In's in their feet, it's on their lips Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time When the sound starts pumpin' And the lights are flashin' And my heart's a-thumpin' And I feel the passion And the world is right there waiting At my fingertips Disco... Apocalypse In the dawn the city seems to sigh And the hungry hear their children cry People watch the time go by They do their jobs and live and die And in their dreams they rise above By strength, or hate, or luck, or love Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time When the world starts turnin' And the floors are shakin' And the dreams are burnin' And the skies awaken Through the wind and the fire They will be dancing still It's in their hearts, it's in their hips It's in their feet, it's on their lips A single sound that never ends They die each night and live again I'm gonna make you mine Tonight's the night Out on the edge of time With the dreams of flesh and love dancing in my mind Dancing through the fire on the edge of time
