Lyrics
Verse 1
I light a cigarette; I feel it making me old.
They light their cigarettes; and I can watch them grow old.
They walk in the door; they come in believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a damn.
And get on the floor, and go on believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a dam when they dance.
Verse 2
I see a pretty face; it?s a penny for my thoughts.
I see another face; who was she now?I forgot.
She walked in the door; she came in believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a damn.
And got on the floor, and goes off on believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a damn, but we don?t.
Chorus
I can?t stop. I know that its foolish, but I?m still here every week?
looking for something new in the same old cycle; this place is a liar and a thief.
So hold me close, or be a wallflower. It?s all the same. It?s all the same.
So hold me close, or be a wallflower. It?s all the same, cause no one here cares anyway.
Verse 3
So join the regulars, and their incestuous cliques.
Or, just keep making rounds like pimps and hos turnin? tricks.
Just walk in the door, just come in believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a damn.
And get on this floor, and go on believing we all give a damn?
that we all give a damn if you dance.
Chorus Repeated
