lyrics

Genevieve

Genevieve, lay your burden down
I wanna go out dancing
I wanna paint this town, Genevieve
Be my good girl, now
Your worries won't go missing
And you've had plenty of time for crying, my beautiful Genevieve

Genevieve, I know what you've been through
I heard all about your suffering
I seen what they did to you, but Genevieve
It's a pain your mind can't soothe
Give it over to your body
I wanna see you move, Genevieve

Give me just one dance, Genevieve
Give me just one, Genevieve
Get it out on the floor
Do it for me, Genevieve

Genevieve, there's a lie for every tongue
There's a tongue for every bite of it
A hand for every slight of it, but Genevieve
There's no safe place you can hide
It's a big ol' scary world out there so
Come on out, come on outside

Why your eyes so dull?
Why the rusty stare?
I know you got your shiny jackknife
Still hidin' in there
And I remember when that blade could cut me through
I just want to move with you, Genevieve

Give me just one dance, Genevieve
Give me just one, Genevieve
Give me just one dance, Genevieve
Give me just one more, one more, Genevieve
Get it out on the floor
Do it for me, if you can't do it for Genevieve
