Dance With Me Lyrics - Janis Ian

And when the war was over 

I went dancing in the streets 

With the corpse of my dead brother 

To the sacrificial beat 

The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires 

Came home from overseas 

Singing Glory Hallelujah! 

To the swank Gestapo beat 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

I've never been 

In the whole of my life 

An intelligent sacrifice 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Give me a reason 

To go on believing 

And I'm ready 

To pay the price

I heard of a plan 

In the president's mansion 

(High up in the sky) 

It called for a sacrifice 

And my brother paid the price 

Sent him home in a bag, 

The American flag 

Was draped around the box 

And the coffin lid was locked 

And the note said Thanks a lot 

Come and dance with me 

Come and dance with me 

I'm home from overseas 

I'm a corpse up to my knees 

Celebrate the victory

Do you want to dance 

And hold me tight? 

I'm feeling most diseased 

And I need your company 

Come and dance 

Come and dance, come and dance 

I'm home from overseas 

And I need your company 

Celebrate the victory 

Would you like to dance 

And hold me tight? 

I'm feeling most diseased 

But I'm easier to please 

Come and dance, come and dance
