The Devil's Takin' Names Lyrics & Chords By The Lawrence Arms

LyricsView Chords

Shall we dance?
Or maybe just limp around?
These feet are cold and beat
And strangers to the ground

The sound of the kick is arousing
The couples are sweet in their love
Tonight, we'll stagger up from the basement
Or fall to our deaths from above

You've got those moves and those eyes
I've got these shakes and bad breath

I've never tried that, I've never tried that
I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
I've never tried that, I've never tried that
I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it

Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you, where are you?
Hate to let 'em see me crying

Let me zip on my party suit and show y'all something
There ain't no such thing as strumpin' for nothing
You can fly with us or hang on to the walls
But the devil's takin' names when the last curtain falls

I got a deep sick worry and I don't know why
Where are you, where are you, what are you doing tonight?
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying

I've never tried that, I've never tried that
I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it
I've never tried that, I've never tried that
I've never tried that, but I know I don't like it

Or, maybe I do I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
Maybe I do and I'm just too weak to fight it
Where are you, where are you?
Hate to let 'em see me crying

So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
Laughing and crying are almost the same
They just show everyone how much attention you're paying

So dry them eyes
Everyone else went back inside
