Dance Music Lyrics - The Sunset Tree - Mountain Goats

Alright I'm on Johnson Avenue in San Luis Obispo 

And I'm five years old or six maybe 

And indications that there's something wrong with our new house trip down the wire twice daily 

I'm in the living room watching the Watergate hearings while my stepfather yells at my mother 

Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head, and I dash upstairs to take cover 

Lean in close to my little record player on the floor 

So this is what the volume knob's for 

I listen to dance music 

Dance music 

Okay so look I'm seventeen years old 

And you're the last best thing I got going 

But then the special secret sickness starts to eat through you 

What am I supposed to do? No way of knowing 

So I follow you down your twisting alleyways 

Find a few cul-de-sacs of my own 

There's only one place this road ever ends up, and I don't wanna die alone 

Let me down, let me down, let me down gently 

When the police come to get me I'm listening to dance music 

Dance music
