There was a boy who
I used to know,
And boy did he like
to have a go
On the dancefloor.
With a swing and
step he won my heart.
He danced and he
danced
Till everything fell
apart.
As I used to sing
and sing
And liked the things
I saw
There was now me
watching him fall.
Everyone just looked
Through him and
ignored
The tears falling
onto the dancefloor.
Until he could dance
no more…
I watch his back as
he disappeared.
He faded away and
nothing seemed to clear
To my lovesick puppy
eyes.
I was a hard though
cookie to crack
But he shimmied
right in
And took my heart
right back.
The people told me
that he was dead.
But I wiped that
spat of me and I know
He was still there
wanting to have a go
On that dance floor.
He had that shimmy
and that swing.
He would come back
when he heard me sing.
I knew, I knew, I
knew, I knew, I knew...
Oelala oelalala
oelala lala lalalala *on repeat
I could hear him
moan *noises
Oelala oelala
I could hear him
wake up
Oelala oelalala
oelala lala lalalala
I could hear him
call “Help me”
Oelala oelala
I could hear him
groan *noises
Oelala oelalala
oelala lala lalalala
I could hear him say
“Only you can help me”
*noises and ¨”
parts repeated by other band members
I could hear him
cry.
I could hear him cry
“Please help me”.
My song an I walked
into a cemetry.
I had your dance
inside my step.
They said your grave
belonged here,
You see,
But I am here to
wake you up
I raise the dead and
I won't stop
I'll never stop,
I'll never stop,
I'll never stop,
I will never ever
ever ever stop.
They said my songs
would never be heard
But one of them
might be the cure
To your bad days,
And to your bad ways
and the swing in your legs
That all of your bad
days
Never knew your
heart could not neglect.
There was a boy that
my heart now knows
And boy did he like
to have a go
On the dancefloor.
His core was black
but his heart was red.
I am madly and
deeply in love
With a boy that
found his blissful death.
