"I Can't Dance To That" lyrics

I Can't Dance To That

Now there's no storyline
Just a real good time
And I don't want to seem
To be mistaken
But there's a tale to tell
On this road to hell
It's in between the lines
The case I'm making

Oh, Lord
Look my way
Save me from these crazy things I see
I don't know what's going on
Round here these days
But I can't dance to that
Oh, I can't dance to that
Let me dance to this
Cause I can't dance to that

If you'll excuse me please
You see I got to go
And take myself before
I'm past redemption
A voice is calling out
As if I didn't know
This wretched road is paved
With good intentions

All the way
Down this Judas track
I know it so well
And I ain't going back
Oh, I don't know what happened
To the good time songs
But I can't dance to that
Oh, I can't dance to that
Let me dance to this
Cause I can't dance to that

Tell me what you know
Take away these chains
What stood in front of me
It looks so pretty
But I can't dance
To a cold machine
Oh, Lord, and every drummer
You know just what I mean
Yeah

Oh, I can't dance to that
Oh, let me dance to this

Oh, I can't dance to that
Oh no
Oh, let me dance to this
Let me dance to this
I can't dance to that
Oh, I can't dance to that
Yeah

I can't dance to that
Let me dance to this
Cause I can't dance to that
