Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, overload
Steak knife
Card Shark
Con job
Boot cut
Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ
Get there quick by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick to make a little leeway
Beat that nic but not the way that we play
Dog town
Blood bath
Rib cage
Soft tail

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Black jack
Dope dick
Pawn shop
Quick pick
Kiss that dyke, I know you want to hold one
Not on strike, but I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic, I know you never stole one
Girls that like a story so I told one
Song bird
Main line
Cash back
Hard top

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee of her soul
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ooh ahh, 'guess you never meant it
Ohh ahh

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, of her soul
By the way I tried to say I know you, from before

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say I'd be there, waiting for
