lyrics

I am coming out tonight
I don’t wanna waste another moment
I know I would regret it
My hair is turning grey
All these wrinkles on my face are going nowhere
But I don’t cry over it

Cause we are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears

Pedal to the metal to the—

Lipstick hairspray pointy boots
Hand-rolled cloves and good friends who know all the gossip
I had it but I lost it

I was never cool enough
To be noticed when I wasn’t out there
So come on let’s get out there!

We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears
Take some damage
And kill your fear
We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!

What if this your last dance
What is this is your last chance hear music
Physical, electric

And across the dancefloor
Mirror spirits who are here to see through you
Like they know what’s before you

[And I’ll love them better now they’re dead
And they love me better now they’re dead]

We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears
Taste the damage
And kill your fear
We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!

When will I have had enough?
When will the banks be full
When will I have gathered enough to remember
When will the last dance occur?
We are still the lucky ones
However much it hurts
