lyrics

Just Drunk Enough To Dance

Should I suck down a row of Jager bombs
Or hang from that chandelier?
Open my mouth and erupt into song?
Open my soul and burst into tears?
The next move I make could be my undoing
So many ways! So many mistakes! So much hinges on my intake!

Should I tell you everybody you ever met doesn’t like you?
Flounce around with a ribbon of loo paper
Emanating from the sole of my shoe?
The next deed I do could doom my reputation
Should I take lots of pills? Or get in a fight?
Roll down a hill? Tuck my skirt in my tights?
Tell you I love you, then walk into a wall?
Get a tattoo? Somersault down the hall?
So many possibilities! So many decisions to rue!

[Spoken] But not one of these things am I drunk enough to do
Though I am just drunk enough to dance!

One more shot of anything equals disaster
Right now I’m standing in the sweetest spot
Where I’m sure I am the greatest dancer
Better beware! Who knows which way I’m going!
Should I shriek like a monkey or squeal like a pig?
Tongue-kiss a junkie? Throw up in the sink?
Abandon my friends and burn every bridge?
Then make amends and empty their fridge?
Get into debt? Rewire a lamp?
Bum cigarettes? Throw myself off this amp? No no!
I teeter on the precipice of an eternity of regret

[Spoken] But not one of these things am I drunk rnough to do yet!
Though I am just drunk enough to dance!

Hey bar-tender with your RSA, don’t need to turn me away
‘Cause I’m completely OK
Just watch me shimmy, Watusi, fandango and jive
You better give me one more because I don’t have to drive!
