Dance With Me
Dead Milkmen · Now We Are 20 [2003]
I can't get to sleep my head is wired
Can't get my mind off a stupid girl
Came into my life and wrecked my world
Got myself drunk got into a fight
Got my head knocked up and I don't feel right
This whole stupid world is bothering me
All I really want now is somebody to...
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dancing free
When you dance with me
I got some records and I got a stereo
Lots of Sex Pistols and Curtis Blow
When I'm dancing I really feel great
Cause I don't think about all the things I hate
I love dancing more than getting drunk
Dancing to rock n' roll, dancing to punk
If there is anything that is bothering you
Any time, any day, you are welcome to...
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dancing free
When you dance with me
So you lost your job, someone stole your car
Your girlfriend left to become a star
Tried to kill the cat in the washing machine
So what, who cares? What does it all mean?
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dancing free
When you dance with me
Dance With Me
Dead Milkmen's "Dance With Me" stands as a defining track on their 2003 album Now We Are 20, exemplifying the band's signature blend of punk energy and theatrical absurdity. Released during a period of heightened commercial success for the group, the song captures their unique ability to merge aggressive instrumentation with surreal, often self-deprecating lyrics. As a staple of their discography, it reflects the band's evolution from their earlier, more chaotic indie-punk roots into a polished yet distinctly weird act. The recording serves as a testament to their commitment to creating music that is both entertaining and intellectually stimulating, solidifying their place in the alternative rock landscape of the early 2000s.
