Dance Me Outside (Brantford)
Craig Cardiff
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 cellphone
get the cops to get out here i just want to get home
she says do you remember buffalo?
the dumb white people they all say do you mean neil young springfield?
she says no, and cleveland ain't the home of indians
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
what i want then i'm afraid
that you can't afford to buy
to buy
this indian girl spinning like a toy top
her hair spreads out like fire and
its 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 it's time to take this home"
and they try to get her address she says sorry i got none its only
me and these feeding fields look where you are
then she kicks at the hem of her skirt and on go the cars
she says take me around and dance me outside
show me a place where we might hide
what i want then i'm afraid that you can't afford to buy
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 its no wonder
why 'cause all they want to do is go and get away from here
all i wanna do is get away from here she says
and so she builds a fire all through the hair and them bones
do remind her that she's alive that she's never at home
she says take me around and dance me outside
show me a place where we might hide
what i want and i'm afraid that you can't afford
that you can't afford to buy
she says take me around and dance me outside
show me a place where we might hide
what i want and i'm afraid that you can't afford to buy
bruce and diamond she says no and juliette she says
bruce and darling she says everything will be ok
and everything will be ok
and everything will be ok
