Belle and Sebastian - The Party Line

How did I get here
(I heard a rumour)
From your girlfriend's sister
(That you knew me)
And you end up dancing
(Closer to me)

I know that I broke the rule already
She asked me if I'm single
Going steady
I just drop my head and took a step off into the dark

Standing on the black and white tiles
Don't dance on the lights cause the bears eat the pretty ones
We are like the islands divided

Jump to the beat of a party line
Jump to the beat of a party line
There is no body here but your body dear
Jump to the beat of a party line

Stay
You stay

I am on this morning quite distracted
The tug of war begins on our emotion
I am leaving many people feeling
Worse than before

People like to drive the cars and smoke up
People like to sit inside and toke up
People like to shoot at things with borrowed guns
And knives

I am happy to look and run
Where were you when I was king in this part of town
Now the days of glory are gone

Jump to the beat of a party line
Jump to the beat of a party line
There is no body here but your body dear
Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line
Jump to the beat of a party line
There is no body here but your body dear
Nobody here but your body dear

Jump to the beat of a party line
Jump to the beat of a party line
There is no body here but your body dear
Jump to the beat of a party line

Jump to the beat of a party line
Jump to the beat of a party line
There is no body here but your body dear
No body here but your body dear
