Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say, I'd be there, waiting for
Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, overload

Steak knife card shark
Con job boot cut

Skin that flick, she's such a little DJ
Get there quick, by street but not the freeway
Turn that trick, to make a little leeway
Beat that nic, but not the way that we play

Dog town blood bath
Rib cage soft tail

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say, I'd be there, waiting for

Black jack dope dick
Pawn shop quick pick

Kiss that dyke, I know you want to hold one
Not on strike, but I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic, I know you never stole one
Girls that like, a story, so I told one

Song bird, main line
Cash back, hard top

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say, I'd be there waiting for
Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee, oversold
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for

Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah, guess you never meant it
Ooh, ah

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say, I'd be there waiting for

Dani the girl is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I know you, from before

Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on, heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there waiting for
