COME OUT AND DANCE

(Don Breithaupt)

Awake in a dream
Alone in a crowd
You can’t sleep ’cause the music’s so loud
You’re getting used to the atmosphere
Here in the city

The sound of a band
A carnival tune
Call you out in the soft summer moon
The day is melting away
And the music is pretty
It says

Come out come out
Wherever you are and dance
Wake up wake up
Get ready to take a chance
Come out come out
Wherever you are and dance
Dance the night away

The falling of night
A typical scene
Words of love on your answering machine
They somehow keep you alone
In the runaway motion

You lock up the door
But the window’s ajar
Someone laughs in a fast-moving car
And street musicians are playing
With love and devotion
They say

First night
Avale
You don’t have to use your name
Nobody wants to know
