I Can't Dance

Genesis · Genesis Live 1973-2007 (11 Discs) [2009]

Hot sun, beating down

Burning my feet just walking around

Hot sun, making me sweat

Gator's getting close, hasn't got me yet

I can't dance, I can't talk

Only thing about me is the way I walk

I can't dance, I can't sing

I'm just standing here selling everything



Blue jeans sitting on the beach

Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach

She's got a body under that shirt

But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt

'Cause I can't dance, I can't talk

Only thing about me is the way I walk

I can't dance, I can't sing

I'm just standing here selling

Oh, I'm checking everything is in place

You never know who's looking on



Young punk spilling beer on my shoes

Fat guy's talking to me, trying to steal my blues

Thick smoke, see her smiling through

I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool

But I can't dance, I can't talk

The only thing about me is the way that I walk

I can't dance, I can't sing

I'm just standing here selling

Oh, I'm checking everything is in place

You never know who's looking on

The perfect body with a perfect face



No, I can't dance, I can't talk

The only thing about me is the way I walk

No, I can't dance, I can't sing

I'm just standing here selling everything



But I can walk



No, I can't dance



No, no, no, I can't dance



No, I said I can't sing
