lyrics

-- Insert Words, Hear --

Let's, dance tonight
Leave your guns by the fireside
And I will watch all night
Setting traps and lending eyes
And the record's turning a needle
Striking down a blight

Let's, for the night
Let cellos wail, they scream that I
Was never so inclined
To see through another's eye
And then the record's turning a needle
Striking down in time

Let's go down to the pier
Sit there, and wait for waves that come
They veer us away
But only so much
Only so much
We can wait

I want to dance with you
Why won't I dance with you?

Let's, for the night
Lay down your hair, your sleepy eyes
And I will watch for time
See your tracks, they look like mine
And then the moonlight tells you a needle
Will strike us down in time

Let's, for the night
And JFK and Lincoln said
It's all right this time
To see through their own eyes
And the moonlight's burning a needle
Strike it down in time

Let's go down to the pier
Have you been over there
There's waves to take you away
But only so much
Only so much
Can we wait?

I want to dance with you
Why won't I dance with you?

Let's go down to the pier
Have you been over there
There's waves to take you away
But only so much
Only so much
I can't wait

I want to dance with you
Why won't I dance with you?

I want to swim in the sea of your hands
I want to walk the streets with no plans
I want to go to war with your clan
I want to play neath verdant stands Look at us now the palms of our hands
I am the lion and you play the lamb
We'll stand beside a boat with no plans
Do you want to lead? cause I want to dance with you But why didn't I dance with you?

about

Cedar Teeth image

Cedar Teeth Portland, Oregon

Cedar Teeth hails from the Cascade foothills, where the sound of saws cut through the Oregon woods and the lights of Portland set the western horizon aglow. Between the five members of the band emerges a fusion of guitars, banjo, keys and trombone, propelled by bass and drums, while vocal harmonies weave through the music. A vision of NW roots rock that is immersive and rustically melodic. ... more
