Do-si-do Hell, said fuck no Side to side More danger lies Help yourself to more of nothing It’s plain to see your conscience bluffing Tap your toes Soul come calling Even though you know it’s all in The way you lose your head for lying And I’m afraid this dance is dying Maybe you thought you knew the words to A song you thought I wrote Get your bucket and get your boots And bail some water on out of this boat If I was only buyin’ The reason you’re supplyin’ I’d be just another victim of circumstance Demons don’t believe in The bullshit that you’re preachin’ But they’ll gladly take you up on your last dance Your last dance
