Dance Me Outside

this indian girl walks out into traffic

the traffic stops then she's causing havok and then

roll up the windows dial the cellphone

get the cops to get out here

i just want to get home

she says do you remember

buffalo?

the dumb white people they all say do you mean niel young springfield?

she says no, and

cleveland isn't the home of indians

not even eskimos it feels like you just don't want to know

she says take me around

dance me outside

show me a place where we might hide

what i want then i'm afraid that you can't afford to buy

this indian girl

spinning like a toy top

her hair spreads out like fire and its like she just can't stop

and then the cops come

donut guard state car

rolling up along the side

with the fire lanterns burning

the sirens opened wide and they say

excuse me little miss

its time to take this home

and they try to get her address

she says sorry i don't have one

its only we and the feeding fields

look where you are

she kicks at the hem of her skirt

and on go the cars

she says take me around

dance me outside

show me a place where we might hide

what i want then i'm afraid that you can't afford to buy

this indian girl

feeling cold and tired

wouldn't mind some help then

but the cars go by its no wonder why

all they want to do

is go and get away
