Dark Songtext
von Michael Waugh

Friday nights are mine
Every other day
Belongs to someone else here

And I don′t think I'm right
I′ve been thinking things
That I think I shouldn't

When I stop into the servo with a headache on my mind
Get the keys to the 'Mens′ and it′s chained to a 'Bring Me Back′ sign

There's a fluoro flicking in the toilet stall
While I′m getting changed
For the night at 'Ringers′
There's a mate from an oil rig
He's coming on a chopper to buy me a drink
I want to go where the cocktails flow
They′re playing a song by Springsteen
′Dancing in the Dark' with a girl that I want to be with

Singing along to ′Khe Sanh'
Screaming like Jimmy
And a vet from Vietnam


I haven′t been to a war
But I'm looking to settle a score
When I can work out what I′m fighting for

There's a guy at the bar and he's giving my girl the eye
And the boss starts to rock
And there′s shots
And ′this gun's for hire′

There's a fluoro flicking in the toilet stall
While I′m killing time
On the night at 'Ringers′
There's a mate from an oil rig
He's coming on a chopper to buy me a drink
I want to go where the cocktails flow
They′re playing a song by Springsteen
′Dancing in the Dark' with a girl that I want to be with


And I
Want to dance in the dark
′cause I don't want to see
The light of day
Want to dance in the dark
′cause I don't want to see
The light of day
Want to dance in the dark
′cause I don't want to see
The light and

I want to go where the cocktails flow
And they're playing a song by Springsteen
′Dancing in the Dark′ with a girl that I want to be with
'Dancing in the Dark′ with a girl that I want to be with
'Dancing in the Dark′ with a girl that I want to be with
I'll be ′Dancing in the Dark' with a girl that I want to be with
