At the Public Dance
I saw you dancin' at the public dance I took a bow, and you took a twirl Like you were there just for the takin' Like you could be anybody's girlI saw you dancin' at the public dance You had private eyes, ribbons in your hair The smoke and the lights, they made you mine You held me tight, and you didn't care Let's go for a cigarette, now for a real drink Hop in my car, and we'll drive somewhere The brightest diamond on a worried finger I felt you slip and vanish in the air So I poured a cup, and I poured it back out Stepped outside, hands behind my back You were leanin' up against a car with Some guy kissin' up and down your neck So I wound it up down to the blacktop Headlights catchin' up with everything Now, it's black on black when the mist rolls through All you can see is the blinkin' of a Coke machine So I saw you dancin' at the public dance Led you in circles 'round the crowded floor I don't want to see you come next Monday Don't want to see you anymore From Letras Mania
