Laurie Anderson
Rhumba Club
Big bloody moon
Is out tonight
Cast its light
On the rhumba club

Place's packed
Smoke fills the air
People dancing everywhere
Looks like the whole town's here

Broken records
Get it to the beat
Everybody [?]
At the rhumba club

Short little girl
At the microphone
She's standing all alone
She's singing "some call me beauty
Some call me pain"
She is singing
"Shoefly, sugar buns
Why don't you love like I want to be loved?"

I say to myself "uh-oh"
It's another big night
At the rhumba club
You were there
Dressed as a cat
Two french girls in mexican hats
Never knew you could dance like that
Smoke [?] and
I hear a shout
And that's when the fire broke out
I say "u-oh"
Another fire
In Dreamland
Just another fire
In Dreamland

Over at the bar there's mum and dad
[?]
They're singing
"Shoefly, sugar buns
Why dont you love me like I wan to be loved?"

I'm on the stage
Playing an old wooden violin
Thats the time when the police came in
"You are the fire!"
How come this place
Doesn't burn to the ground?
Flames are licking iron
Iron
Just another fire
In Dreamland
Just another fire
In Dreamland
Wake up
Wake up
My little one
There's a fire in the ballroom
My little one
There's a fire in your bed
My little one
Oh what's this spell?
What's this spell?
Ringing in my head
Ringing in my head
Ringing in my head

What's this spell?
Ringing in my head
RInging in my head
