Since I Learned to Dance by Western Star Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Riverside park, people were groovin'
I took one of what they were all doing
Now I'm locked in a mood
Like the rest of these fools
'Cause the bus don't stop on 82nd street
Don't stop, at least it don't for me
Leavin' home since I learned to dance
Coming back chemically enhanced
[Chorus 1]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Riverside park, Southside boogie
Yeah, give me the Southside blues in a hurry
You can't take em home, 'cause they move too slow
[Verse 2]
And the trains already around the bend
Don't stop, at least it won't again
Coming fast to call me cheap
Two weeks gone and two nights sleep
[Chorus 2]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Loose in the groove of some half-ass tango
Between the notes and the bars in the shadows
I'll never make it now, little Suzie showed me how
[Verse 3]
Riverside park, downtown shuffle
Stepping in - a man, I'm in trouble
Well, it don't come free, but you can learn it from me
Waiting on a white Dodge or a Chevrolet
To take me home to Tennessee plates
Broken glass hits the ground, I'm in love with that sound
[Chorus 3]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Loose, in the arms of some double time waltz, man
With a chemical smile and hips full of contraband
Well, I'll never make it now, everybody's learning how
[Outro]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
You gotta give it all, you gotta give it all...
(Since I learned to dance, I just shake)
Riverside park, people were groovin'
I took one of what they were all doing
Now I'm locked in a mood
Like the rest of these fools
'Cause the bus don't stop on 82nd street
Don't stop, at least it don't for me
Leavin' home since I learned to dance
Coming back chemically enhanced
[Chorus 1]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Riverside park, Southside boogie
Yeah, give me the Southside blues in a hurry
You can't take em home, 'cause they move too slow
[Verse 2]
And the trains already around the bend
Don't stop, at least it won't again
Coming fast to call me cheap
Two weeks gone and two nights sleep
[Chorus 2]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Loose in the groove of some half-ass tango
Between the notes and the bars in the shadows
I'll never make it now, little Suzie showed me how
[Verse 3]

[Outro]
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
Don't know how long I've been awake
Since I learned to dance, I just shake
You gotta give it all, you gotta give it all...
(Since I learned to dance, I just shake)
