lyrics

Stayed dead-still a long while
I hardly bat an eye 
Like you traveled to a deserted town
as a guest you came a-wandering by
Like a trash mop clawing the floor
or does the chain and ball suit you more
Baby don’t set your mind to be a trap door
no more

You can tango with the neighborhood boys
they won’t step on your feet
and you can put the red light on 
you can put it all the way on for me
and the kids wearing their daddy’s clothes
moving trucks over the ballroom so slowly 
They took you for a madman before 
They could never dream of half what you conceive
is that really what you need
baby don’t look away no more
baby don’t listen to what you say no more
baby don’t make your heart a jail no more

Desert leaves turn green go play
splash in rivers dance in rain
your love will lay you in her flat deer bed
lay in wait for the season to pass
You got slapped with heavy law
She ain’t keen on takin’ calls
she ain’t fit to love a fall this wrong
ooh renegade

Stayed there still a long while hon
I never bat an eye
There’s a dance hall in this dust bowl town
I guess you were water in my eye
You can put your blue dress on
let the moonlight twirl you around and around 
as the crew-cuts play an average sound 
like a slow song calling you back to see your girl 
when you’re home sick home when you’re severely playing hide-and-sulk 
She’ll take you for your sweet time Joe 
spend your lifetime tryin’ to change how you perceive
is it really what you believe
baby don’t look away and I won’t look away 
baby don’t listen to what you say no more
baby don’t make your heart a jail
no more
