Heartbreakdancer Lyrics

this is the year that they'll all catch on to these heartbeat words set to these upbeat songs
and you'll be daft as hell hell, probably sing along not knowing that they're all about you.
this is the rebirth of old colors, i put the bass back in basement lovers.
she used to be green, now with a phd in getting down between the covers.
oh brother, it's criminal how cynical this boy has become.
i'm clinical, i'm typical, i'm typically young.
i'm better when i'm getting all the things that i want
so make grabs, take stabs at brass rings with sharp tongues.
and oh, do you know who wrote the book on clever lines and telling lies and giving dirty looks?
well, she tops the list of all the dirty crooks when both her and her telephone are off the hook.

i called you up and i didn't get an answer.
you said, "baby, you're a heartbreakdancer."
i called you up and i didn't get an answer.
you said, "baby, you're a heartbreakdancer."

this is a whispering campaign of pop songs and popped corks off of bottles of champagne.
hey, i'm tasting summer on my lips and the space between my floor and hips
is getting thinner by the minute.
you know we're all part-time sinners and full-time cynics, so tilt your head and then listen.
today's lesson is spilling from your speakers.
the class is getting down, and i will be your teacher.
oh me, oh, my. surprise, surprise. i've got these bright ideas and even brighter eyes.
i've got a list of demands and it states that if you have a chance, take it
then start erasing every single last backup plan.
throw your heart in the ring, cross your fingers and part your hands
because we're taking it all back, baby.

i called you up and i didn't get an answer.
you said, "baby, you're a heartbreakdancer."
i called you up and i didn't get an answer.
you said, "baby, you're a heartbreakdancer."

now we're taking it all back baby
we're taking it back, we're taking it back
now we're taking it all back baby
we're taking it back, we're taking it back
