Jackson Browne Lyrics

Album: Hold Out

DISCO APOCALYPSE Lyrics

Down the side streets and the avenue

There be sisters walkin' two by two

Their dresses and their shoes are new

But their hearts are weary thru and thru

And it's a long way into the light of the day

While the juke box and the radio play

Where the days turn into the nights

People move into the sounds and sights

Like the moth is drawn into the lights

Like the tight-rope walker into the heights

It's in their hearts, it's in their hips,

It's in their feet, it's on their lips

Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine

Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time

When the sound starts pumpin'

And the lights are flashin'

And my hearts-a-thumpin'

And I feel the passion

And the world is right there waiting

At my finger tips

Disco... apocalypse

In the dawn the city seems to sigh

And the hungry hear their children cry

People watch the time go by

They do their jobs and live and die

And in their dreams they rise above

By strength, or hate, or luck, or love

Tonight's the night I'm gonna make you mine

Gonna dance right out onto the edge of time

When the world starts turnin'

And the dreams are burnin'

And the skies awaken

Through the wind and the fire

They will be dancing still

It's in their hearts, it's in their hips,

it's in their feet, it's on their lips

A single sound that never ends

They die each night and live again

I'm gonna make you mine

Tonight's the night

Out on the edge of time

With the dreams of flesh and love dancing in my mind

Dancing through the fire on the edge of time
