about
"Originally written in '98 from late night, summer experiences in downtown Vancouver. When partying on Granville Street after 3 AM - watch out for the living dead!
This is my favorite song off the album (hence it became the title track) and I'm also the one singing the "balls-in-a-vice" harmony vocals on the chorus too ;)"
lyrics
Dancing With The Dead
Mama, tell the girls I’m gone
To where the wicked don’t get no rest
Living 9 to 5 is for the broken hearted
I don’t fear no love, beauty is just a test
Midnight keeps falling too early
The weekend keeps on coming too fast
I been taking my steps downtown at The Roxy
I sold my soul just to make it last
Sweet Lucy comes walking closer next to me
And by the lights off the mirrorball I finally see
She ain’t so pretty, not like what those other ghouls say
“I’m sorry Lucy,” I turn my head and walk away
Dancing, I’ve been dancing
Dancing with the dead
Sliding, I keep sliding further
Guess it’s time that I check my head
Get away is what you say
But it don’t matter much to me now
These souls that I hang with are the living dead
And it’s too late, I’m buried 6 feet down
As the nightbreed fall upon the city streets
The dying crawl out from underneath their shelter from the heat
They drain your lifeline, they tell you that you got to stay
Goodnight sunlight, into the dark I fade away
