Dance Songtext
von Derek Webb & Sandra McCracken

My name is Mary
And I′m from Greenville, Mississippi
This is where I live
Here in this old folks' dormitory
But every Sunday night
You know that Sarah comes to see us
She plays that old upright
But Sarah always seems to leave us

But when she plays
Something comes over me
It goes from my head
And all the way to my feet


And I wanna dance
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night
I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music that′s been ringing in my ears
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here

I had three girls and a boy
But now one′s gone up to heaven
She′s with her papa now
But he left her like a penicillin
But the older that I get
I figure everyone is dying
They're all dying for a change
I swear I′m dying for some action

But days like these
Sunday seems so far away
And so until then
I'm gonna sit right here
And here I′ll stay


'Cause I wanna dance
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
All night
I wanna dance
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I wanna listen to the music that′s been ringing in my ears
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here

I′d marry you if you could dance
Well, that′s what I said
Because where I'm going
They′ll be dancing every day

And I'm gonna dance
I′m gonna snap my fingers all night long and dance
I'm gonna move around this room just like a woman in a trance
Oh yes I am
I′m gonna dance
I'm gonna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
I'm gonna listen to this music that′s been ringing in my ears
See, one day I′m gonna dance right out of here
Right out of here
