LyricsWe broke into the old Bay Shore Roller Rink Through a hole in the back wall The echoes of our sneakers amplified themselves like speakers Through the corners of the long-forgotten hall And the cobwebs spanned the door frames As I kneeled down to spell your name In the dust on the floor that we'd Danced on so many times before The musty aroma is filling my head And the broken windows let the birds in Our breath, it made clouds and they wrapped us like shrouds To keep November from reaching our skin And the ghost of the DJ floats in from the freeway He puts on your favorite waltz So I take your hand, the invisible band Leads us dancing around in the hall The glow from the sunset caught the big disco ball And sent dusty rays of light into your face And the light from the ball hit the frost on the walls And sent oranges and reds into space I caught a glance in the midst of our dance For a moment I stopped in my tracks The room was ablaze with the fiery rays While the frozen air blew through the cracks And our bodies are frozen in time TablatureTuning: Standard, key of G Intro: x34030 024000 x34030 024000 Verse: x34030 3x4030 x34030 3x4030 022000 x34030 320033 2x0230 Chorus: 022000 2x0230 320033 x20033 x34030 Solo / Ending: x32010 x54030 x75000 x-10-9-0-8-0 x32010 (x2) 320033 Played LiveFull StatisticsPlayed at 41 out of 145 shows since introduction (28%) Sharing
This tells a moving story about criminal trespass which is magnificently innocent in spite of that. The 3/4 break at "bodies are frozen in time" is truly brilliant. I'd love to make a video for this song, but in order to do it correctly I'd have to risk arrest.
This is such an amazing song and story - I can see it all in my head when I listen to this. The images you paint with all of your lyrics (not just this song)are so amazing
