Dance Me Outside (Live)
This Indian girl walks out into traffic
The traffic stops then she's causing havok and baby won't you
Roll up the windows dial up on the cellphones
Get the cops to get out here
I just want to get home
She says, "Well, do you remember the all buffalo?"
And all the dumb white people say, "Do you mean Jimmy Neil Young Springfield?"
She says, "No"
But Cleveland isn't the home of Indians
And not even Eskimos it feels like you just don't want to know
She says; "Take me around
Dance me outside
Show me a place where we might hide
and oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy"
This Indian girl
Spins like a toy top
And her hair spreads out like fire and it's like she just can't stop
And then the cops come
Donut guard state car
Rolling up along the side
With the fire lanterns burning
The sirens opened wide and they say
"Excuse me little miss I'm afraid its time to take this home"
And they try to get her address
She says, "Sorry I don't have one
It's only we and the feeding fields
And look where you are"
And she kicks at the hem of her skirt
And on go the cars
She says; "Take me around
Dance me outside
Show me a place where we might hide
and oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy"
This indian girl
Feeling cold and tired
Wouldn't mind some help then
But the cars go by it's no wonder why
'Cause all they want to do is go and get away
"All I wanna do," she says, "is get away from here"
So she builds a fire
And all through her belly
And through her hair and bones
And to remind her that shes alive she stares at in awe
And she says; "Take me around
Dance me outside
Show me a place where we might hide
And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy"
"Take me around
Dance me outside
Show me a place where we might hide
And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy"
The traffic stops then she's causing havok and baby won't you
Roll up the windows dial up on the cellphones
Get the cops to get out here
I just want to get home
She says, "Well, do you remember the all buffalo?"
And all the dumb white people say, "Do you mean Jimmy Neil Young Springfield?"
She says, "No"
But Cleveland isn't the home of Indians
And not even Eskimos it feels like you just don't want to know
She says; "Take me around
Dance me outside
Show me a place where we might hide
and oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy"
