Pretend To Dance

Tie your laces, girl
It is easy
Put your shoes on
And enjoy the world

You are starry eyed
And you're telling me
The dj's sounding out of sight

But I'm trying hard to keep it real
I don't know exactly how to feel

Tell me, boy
Am I wasting time?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Am I losing my mind?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
Feels like a ring ring ring on the telephone
Feels like a beat beat beat on the meanest drum
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
(let's pretend we're here to dance)

It's an easy ride
Take my hand and come and join me on the other side
Don't know what to do
Cause the reason I am here is to get close to you

And I'm trying hard to feel the beat
You won't see me running down the street

Tell me, boy
Am I wasting time?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Am I losing my mind?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
Feels like a ring ring ring on the telephone
Feels like a beat beat beat on the meanest drum
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
(let's pretend we're here to dance)

At night I am a tiger
They will feed when it gets dark
You know
At night I am a sniper
I will aim at every spark
You see
At night I am a razorblade
I'll cut your heart in two
Well I don't
Care about the tigers
All I care about is you

Tell me, boy
Am I wasting time?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Am I losing my mind?
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
Feels like a ring ring ring on the telephone
Feels like a beat beat beat on the meanest drum
Feels like a kick kick kick when it's hitting home
(let's pretend we're here to dance)
