bouncer by little champion

I talked about leaving town and I did it
but maybe I'd be better off without quitting
anything when it gets hard to handle

chasing sunsets just for the thrill of it
but what's the point - never see the other side of it
is it leaving or is it freedom and what's the difference

maybe we don't have to explain so much
maybe not everything's a sign
I keep listening to what's missing; tell me why

I can't wait to go waltzing where nobody's turned away
because a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

I tried condensing lifetimes into minutes
maybe I'd be better off if I didn't
what if I wasn't so scared to settle

I'd read the book on life if it existed
hell I'd even settle for an early edition
it took a few decades but I finally get poetry

is it punk enough to believe in love
in a homestead kind of way
am I crying on the riding mower again?

I can't wait to go two-stepping where nobody's turned away
a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

we fled east from the suburbs shouting "no rules" all the way to the coast
but I think there was more to it than we could know

so I can't wait to go dancing where nobody's turned away
because a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

a dancer's god is a bouncer, let me in I'm not afraid
a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day
