This Girl Taught Me a Dance

Well this girl taught me a dance called the "I don't care"
she said to me, "it's easy, I swear"
"stand alone over there, and watch everyone else around you care."
although I know any eyes I make or smile that she may see
I'll never in return receive
as long as she's with him and not me

Ahh that girl taught me a lousy dance
I can't say that it helped me
my heart done hurt from all that work
I think I'll draw a waterfall bath
and hold my breath
just as long as I can see how close I can get to death
without leaving I know there's somewhere else that we go
so if I ever come to, or if I ever go forth
let me know if you ever see my ghost

I'm a ghost on a Saturday night
doing the things I never did in life
no use for money or food
I only want to dance with you
but I ain't dead yet
so I guess I can have this dance
and you can hold my hand
and if I ever come to, or if I ever go forth
let me know if you ever see my ghost
