The Weeks - The House We Grew Up In lyrics

I said, 'Oh'
She said, 'My head aches'
But she's still dancing to the music that my band plays

I said, 'Oh'
I watch her legs shake
And she was jumping up and down just like an earthquake

I said, 'Oh'
I watch her sweat drip
I saw her clap her hands and close her eyes and bite her bottom lip

I said, 'Oh'
I watch her dress rip
In the car behind the club for a quick fix

And, oh
I watch her drink spill
I saw her dance right back to the bar to get a refill

I said, 'Oh'
Pick up your teeth
And all the kids they were clappin' Mississippi

And, oh
We hit the mirror
And we screamed a little louder so that everyone can hear; we said:

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us now

I said, 'Oh'
In the back room
On the couch, I caught a whiff of your perfume

And, oh
See the crowd rage
It was a sea of nicotine-beaten teenage

And, oh
Full of heartbreak
We spent the New Year's Eve with the Champagne

And, oh
In the bathroom
Because my band was going on a little too soon

And, oh
I see stars
We spent the last four hours wastin' money in the bar

I said, 'Oh'
On the stage
Because the kids were going crazy to that Mississippi rain; I said:

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us now

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us

Oh, let the band play
I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays
I said oh oh oh
They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us now

They can't stop us
They can't stop us
They can't stop us, oh
They can't stop us, oh
They can't stop us now
Said they can't stop us, oh
Said they can't stop us, oh
Said they can't stop us, oh
They can't stop us, oh
They can't stop us now
Said they can't stop us, oh
Said they can't stop us, oh
Said they can't stop us, oh
They can't stop us, no
They can't stop us now
