Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How did I get here, I heard the rumor
From your girlfriend's sister, that you knew me
And you end up dancing closer to me
[Verse 2]
I know that I broke the rule already
She asked me if I'm single, going steady
I just dropped my head and took a step off into the dark
[Verse 3]
Standing one the block of white tiles
Don't dance on the lights 'cause the bears eat the pretty ones
We are like the islands, divided
[Verse 4]
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here but your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
[Verse 5]
Stay
You stay
[Verse 6]
I am on this morning, quite distracted
The talk of what begins in our emotion
I am leaving many people feeling worse than before
[Verse 7]
People like to drive their cars and smoke up
People like to sit inside and toke up
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns and knives
[Verse 8]
I am happy to look and run
Where were you when I was king in this part of town?
Now the days of glory are gone
[Verse 9]
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here but your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
[Verse 10]
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here but your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear
[Verse 11]
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here but your body, dear
Jump to the beat of the party line
[Verse 12]
Jump to the beat of the party line
Jump to the beat of the party line
There is nobody here but your body, dear
Nobody here but your body, dear
