there are a whole bunch of little quirky riffs, and licks here and
there thru the song, but I watched a video of these guys,and....
one of the guitarist has a SEMI-CIRCLE of effects pedals around
him. Not having these 10-15 pedals, or the time to go thru a ton of settings,I
have no way of knowing
how to make the wierd (but awesome) sounds.
here are the lyrics.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day. X3
well, ima give myself another one, 'cause i have too much to say!
dance hall! dance hall! every day!
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day. X2
I'm gonna angle t'ward telepathy,
'cause i don't know the words to say!
well, im gonna act up, but im not in your fuckin' play.
I'll let you win the argument if things still go my way,
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance...all,uh-dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day.
well I haven't had enough, and i said i had my fill.
The past does not exist, and im told it never will.
I guess that im stuck here like a plant,
on a window sill.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day. X3
I'm gonna tell you what you wanna here, anyway!
I'm gonna give myself a shot, I could give myself a pill!
Gonna go and buy myself a little more...time to kill.
oooh I need a can opener, 'cause i got some beans...to spill.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day. X4
well somehow or another, I fell for every scam,
but im dancing on the tin roof, cat be damned!!
well, commitin' crimes, running down the alley.
I am the captain, and you are in the galley.
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, ever day. X3
I'm gonna dance all, dance hall, all night long right now.
