Dismemberment Plan

Tonight We Mean It

Dismemberment Plan


Head to toe rayon, don't light a match 
We were good and we're starting from scratch 
Going to a place that never existed 
And probably never will, yeah 
Oh, a blue light basement on a throw-down autono(mous) zone 
Where we dim the lights and we're really not that lonesome 
Leave your context at home and leave your irony at the door 
Tonight we'll even the score 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we dance 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we cry 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we laugh 
Well, tonight, tonight yeah, yeah 
I know everybody here would love to get down 
And to wipe the slate clean new 
And do what they want and say what they mean 
And eliminate the, uh, existential quandaries of modern, uh, postmodern 
(bourgeoise) reality, ya dig? 
No issues! No motives! No problems! No questions! 
Just sexy people and purity of intention 
Sounds so good, I can barely bring myself to mention 
It's my sad, sad invention 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we dance 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we cry 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we laugh 
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight 
I lost my invitation and I don't know where I'm going 
I might just drive around and try to listen for something weird 
Yeah, you're welcome to come along. 
Well, tonight we mean it, yeah! 
When we dance 
Well, tonight we mean it, oh 
When we laugh 
Well, tonight we mean it 
When we cry 
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
