Lyrics

I've got to go now
I've got to get away
I can't dance on this dance floor anymore
I'm going out of my mind
And you are so kind
Keeping track of me like you have
I'm going back to Dishpan Alley
My one-room Bali Hai
I'm gonna rewrite the words to this song tonight
But still, I know when I sleep
There will be no relief
From the vagueness of that crowd you keep
Oh, yeah
This won't stand the light of day
My, my
This won't stand the light of day
Only fools go out in the dark
I've got to turn on the light
To stab away the night
I've got to feel these four walls around me now
'Cause when I'm dancing with you
In that mattress blue bar
I could run, I could run and never reach you
I want to flash before I die
But I fear only a sigh
A handshake, a nervous hello and goodbye
You talk me down like an FM jock
I feel like screaming in my silence
Whenever you talk
Whoa, yeah
This won't stand the light of day
Oh, yeah
This won't stand the light of day
Only fools go out in the dark
I've got to go now
I've got to get away
I can't dance on this dance floor anymore
I'm going out of my mind
And you are so kind
Keeping track of me like you have
I'm going back to Dishpan Alley
My one-room Bali Hai
I'm gonna rewrite the words to this song tonight
But still, I know when I sleep
There will be no relief
From the vagueness of that crowd you keep
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This won't stand the light of day
My, my, my
This won't stand the light of day
This won't stand the light of day
This won't stand the light of day
Ah, yeah
