BONNIE ARMS

Bonnie learned to twist from her father was she was just 13
And she’s been swinging her hips ever since if you know what I mean

She always grabs a cart at the shopping mart
With no intention of filling it
But some soup, smokes and milk are a start
Lord knows she doesn’t no when to quit

She never looks both ways crossing the street
As she lights another cigarette
The bags under her eyes swing to the beat
Je regrette, je regrette

But She still finds time to dance, to dance, to dance the night away
So far away x 2….where everything is made of tinsel and gold lame

One room studio with a view of the alley
Decorated by a life on all fours
She was thinking of naming the cat before it got sick on the tv
Like daddy said, if you want a treat you got to do your chores

She often wonders why they can’t make a remote that doesn’t need batteries
Everything is always running out on her
Half a string of Christmas lights light her toiletries
Pas de compare, pas de comparison

But She still finds time to dance, to dance, to dance the night away
So far away x 4….where everything is made tinsel and gold lame

Night shifts at the nursing home are a home
Away from her home sick heart
She’d rather walk amongst the dead than be alone
She finds their end is where she’d like to start( or avec amour)

There is no more time to kill
The mop glides itself across the floor
She watches as her eyes fill
Avec amore…

(spoken)
(she sees love through dead grey eyes
even tired hearts can find the beat
her island waits as the ocean dries
and the danceless find their feet)

one more chance to dance, to dance, to dance the night away
So far away x4 ….where everything is made tinsel and gold lame
