Dance Hall Girls Lyrics - Duhks

These dance hall girls, they don't treat you kind 

They give you their bodies but you never reach their minds 

Well, they fill you up with lipstick lies 

When they put you down some, don't ya be surprised 

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore? 

Well, I saw her mountains and I kissed her plains 

I held her sunshine and I drank her rains 

Well, I went so far that I broke too fast 

Thought I had me a winner picked but I came in last again 

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore? 

I must have chosen the wrong season to come down 

I never realized they called this sacred ground 

My sense of time, hell, I'm a week behind 

I sent me a letter home but this all takes time 

Gonna get some cash, gonna go back home 

These dance hall girls really know how to make a man feel alone 

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore? 

My sense of time, hell, I'm a week behind 

I sent me a letter home but this all takes time 

Gonna get some cash, gonna blow this town 

These dance hall girls really know how to drag a poor boy down 

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore? 

Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore?
