the house that we grew up in

i said

'oh'

she said

'my head aches'

but she's still dancing to the music that my band plays

i said

'oh'

i watch her legs shake

and she was jumping up and down just like an earthquake

i said

'oh'

i watch her sweat drip

i saw her clap her hands and close her eyes and bite her bottom lip

i said

'oh'

i watch her dress rip

in the car behind the club for a quick fix

and

oh

i watch her drink spill

i saw her dance right back to the bar to get a refill

i said

'oh'

pick up your t

and all the kids they will clap in mississippi

and

oh

we hit the mirror

and we scream a little louder so that everyone can hear; we said: oh oh

let the band play

i'm being broken up and ripped apart by x-rays

i said oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

they can't stop us

they can't stop us

they can't stop us now

i said

'oh'

in the back room

on the couch

i caught a whiff of your perfume

and

oh

see the crowd rage

it was a sea of naked teens being teen-aged

and

oh

full of heartbreak

we spent the new year's eve with the champagne

and

oh

in the bathroom

because my band was going on a little too soon

and

oh

i see stars

we spent the last four hours with some money in the bar

i said

'oh'

understand

because i keep it going crazy through that mississippi rain; i said: oh oh

let the band play

i'm being broken up and ripped apart by x-rays

i said oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

they can't stop us

they can't stop us

oh oh

let the band play

i'm being broken up and ripped apart by x-rays

i said oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

they can't stop us

they can't stop us

they can't stop us now

i said: oh oh

let the band play

i'm being broken up and ripped apart by x-rays

i said oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

they can't stop us

they can't stop us

they can't stop us now
