The Modern Lovers Dance With Me

Well hi dear I'm just here from outside

I've been out all alone in the cold night

and in the shopping centre at midnight

I've been out all alone in the moonlight



So I'm cold, but I can dance

and I say, dance with me



well hi now, I'm just back from Europe

I learned a lot, I used to dance in the big dances in the cities

well you're all alone in the dorm here

I'm excited and you're safe and warm



you're warm, I'm cold

and I say, dance with me



alright



and if you dance with me

right, look at me and smile

if you look at me

well then I hope you'll smile



because your face is pure sex when you smile

it's written in huge suburban letters

which say 'tenderness,' which say 'sex'

i say dance with me



but I came over here



I just shaved my face with a shaver

and I just did it to try and make myself handsome

your life must be dull in the dorm here

I'm excited and you're safe and warm



so you're warm, I'm cold

I say, dance with me



(alright, now for the middle part now)



well now, dear don't you love the city?

don't you love the idea of ???

you're my modern, suburban pretty

I say dance with me



alright


Am
well hi now, how's it goin? I'm just here from outside

I've been out all alone in the cold night

and in the shopping centre at midnight

I've been out all alone in the cold of the moonlight
