Song Lyrics

Sally dances on the floor
she says that she can`t do it anymore
She walks down St. Marks Place
and eats natural food at my place

Now Sally can`t dance no more
she can`t get off of the floor
Sally can`t dance no more
they found her in the trunk of a Ford
ooohhh, she can`t dance no more

Sally is loosing her face
she lives on St. Marks Place
In a rent-controlled apartment, eighty dollars a month
she has lots of fun, she has lots of fun, but

Sally can`t dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can`t dance no more
She took too much meth and can`t get off the floor
now Sally, she can`t dance no more

She was the first girl in the neighborhood
to wear tied-dyed pants, ah, like she should
She was the first girl that I ever seen
that had flowers painted on her jeans
She was the first girl in her neighborhood
who got raped on Tompkins Square, real good
Now she wears a sword, like Napoleon
and she kills the boys and acts like a son

Sally can`t dance no more, ooohhh, now
Sally can`t dance no more
She can`t get herself off the floor, ah, huh
Sally, ooohhh, she can`t dance no more

Watch this, now

Sally became a big model
she moved up to eighties and park
She had a studio apartment
and that`s where she used to ball, folk singers
and that`s where she used to ball, folk singers, but

Sally, she can`t dance no more
Sally, she can`t dance no more
Sally can`t get herself off of the floor
now, Sally, she can`t dance no more
(Sally can`t dance)
(Sally can`t dance)

She knew all the really right people
she went to Le Jardin
She danced with Picasso`s illegitimate mistress
and wore Kenneth Lane jewels, really it`s trash, but

Sally can`t dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can`t dance no more
She can`t get herself off of the floor
now, Sally, ooohhh, she can`t dance no more, no more
Dance, no more can`t ...
(Sally can`t dance, Sally can`t dance)
(Sally can`t dance, Sally can`t dance)
(Sally can`t dance, Sally can`t dance)
(Sally can`t dance, Sally can`t dance)
... repeat and fade out
