Dance Me Outside

This Indian girl walks out into traffic The traffic stops then she's causing havoc and baby won't you Roll up the windows dial up on the cellphones Get the cops to get out here I just want to get home She says, "Well, do you remember the all buffalo?" And all the dumb white people say, "Do you mean Jimmy Neil Young Springfield?" She says, "No" But Cleveland isn't the home of Indians And not even Eskimos it feels like you just don't want to know She says, "Take me around, dance me outside Show me a place where we might hide And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy" This Indian girl Spins like a toy top And her hair spreads out like fire and it's like she just can't stop And then the cops come Donut guard state car Rolling up along the side With the fire lanterns burning The sirens opened wide and they say "Excuse me little miss I'm afraid its time to take this home" And they try to get her address She says, "Sorry I don't have one it's only we and the feeding fields And look where you are" And she kicks at the hem of her skirt And on go the cars She says, "Take me around, dance me outside Show me a place where we might hide And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy" This Indian girl Feeling cold and tired Wouldn't mind some help then But the cars go by it's no wonder why 'Cause all they want to do is go and get away "All I wanna do," she says, "Is get away from here" So she builds a fire And all through her belly And through her hair and bones And to remind her that shes alive she stares at in awe And she says, "Take me around, dance me outside Show me a place where we might hide And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy" "Take me around, dance me outside Show me a place where we might hide And oh, what I want I'm afraid that you can't afford to buy" --- Dance Me Outside - Craig Cardiff
