Lyrics
ACROSS THE FLOOR
Walk don't run nightfall will come
Close your eyes make it a big surprise
Drive on straight across the line to the right
On the horizon in the glowing night
Nickel two dimes two hundred dollar bills
Now my pockets are empty I've had my fill
And the water is rising
The dam ain't so weak
Dance with me baby
let that be just what we seek
Your hand in my hand
Our eyes on the door
Waiting for that signal
Swaying across the floor
Across the floor
Across the floor
Dance with me baby
All night across the floor
Now Morning has come and we're still on the run
The state line out on highway fifty-nine
In this mirror eyes seem out of place
Lines are there but they're not on my face
One last run and we'll make it across
Unmarked roads I think we're finally lost
