Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Its your last stoic December
You plan to play it perfectly cool
Before your intended adventure
For eons you been standing still

You got your finger on the pulse
PRE-CHORUS:
Your finger on the trigger but you can't put your finger on it, go figure

CHORUS:
You Dance Around The Issue
What you do supersedes, what you say
You Dance Around The Issue
What you do supersedes, what you say
You Dance Around The Issue

VERSE 2:
More never than you ever remember
Your worries are far between and few
You get one off color comment
You ratchet it down, a notch or two

PRE-CHORUS:
Its on the top of your brain
And the tip of your tongue
But you can't shout it out from the top of your lungs

You Dance Around The Issue
What you do supersedes, what you say
You Dance Around The Issue
What you do supersedes, what you say
You Dance Around The Issue

OUTRO:
You dream of being a card carrying member
You're on the edge of a real breakthrough, but you still, but you still, but you still

Dance Around The Issue
