Dance Anthem Of The 80'S (Live In London) Lyrics
Regina Spektor
Lyrics
You... are... so... sweet...
Dan... cing... to the... beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
You are, so sweet, so sweet
Dancing and moving to that beat, that beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
You. Are. So. Sweet.
Once more
You. Are. So. Sweet.
Solo
I went walking
Through the city
Like a drunk but not
With my slip
Shown a little
Like a drunk but not
And I am
One of your people
But the cars don't stop
And I am
One of your people
But the cars don't stop
It's been a long time since before I've been touched
Now I'm getting touched all the time
And it's only a matter of whom
And it's only a matter of when
An addiction to hands and feet
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
When they really wanna watch each other sleep Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
