lyrics

Tired eyes and combat boots, your hair is blond now, but brown at the roots.
too much makeup on your face, the uniform is slipping, only willpower holds it in place
Left your parents at 16, your dad wanted you to stay, you haven’t been back since
A thin façade between you and the world. Underneath it all just a scared little girl.

Dance like tonight is your last night on earth.
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.
drink until your sick and go home with a stranger but
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.

Band shirt that you bought at the mall, shaved head punk rock know it all.
Black eye from yesterday’s fight, you judge everyone, but maybe you should give up being right.
Broken home bounced back and forth now you live on your own, but nowhere feels like home.
You claim to hate the entire world, but your tune always changes once things get better

Dance like tonight is your last night on earth.
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.
drink until your sick and go home with a stranger but
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.

Wild eyes and a wider grin, holding onto this place like a life line
Your friends call you smiley, if they only knew the truth.
your hanging by a thread, about to about to end up on the news.
A danger to yourself or others, a bomb with a lit fuse.
you only came to the show to find something to hold on to.
Well you will, just enough to make it but tonight’s all that matters

Dance like tonight is your last night on earth.
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.
drink until your sick and go home with a stranger but
Dance like tonight is all that your worth.
