Hell or High water (Femme Fatale)

She smells like sunshine in the driving rain
I followed her jumped off the bridge
I'm damaged goods again
She plagiarized my dreams
& nothings what it seems
while she's standing on the sun-
in six inch heels, and worried about her hair.

Grant me serenity to lose my mind
dance is a poem
and every movement is like a word
I'm burning my candle at both ends tonight
come hell, or high water

Leaving no heart behind
you know my blood approves.
She's gonna leave this town,
and well enough alone.
She looks so tall, watch as she falls
the beat you seek is but a dream Femme Fatale

Grant me serenity to lose my mind
dance is a poem
and every movement is like a word
I'm burning my candle at both ends tonight
come hell, or high water

Woo woo, (nobody cares) if you can't dance well
just get up and dance
Woo woo, (nobody cares) if you can't dance well
just get up and dance
Woo woo, (nobody cares)
just get up and dance

Grant me serenity to lose my mind
dance is a poem
and every movement is like a word
I'm burning my candle at both ends tonight
come hell, or high water
(repeat) end.
