up for air - dave steel lyrics

there she is again tonight, she’s dancing ‘cross the floor
where the lights flash, bodies crash
and smoke pours out the door
she’s looking for a rhythm that can take away the day before

she ain’t no angel, no sweet sixteen
she don’t look like the cover on a magazine
she’s feeling low and lonely, she don’t want to make the scene

and she says, ‘dance to the broken beat
better than walking up and down
the hard and dusty street…’
and she’s thinking, ‘don’t want to know about the boys up there
don’t want to find out if they care
just want to forget everything and everywhere
i’ve just come up for air

she goes home tired and drunk to another lonely night
the traffic lullaby tells her she feels alright
but every day is just the same
nothing makes the difference like she thought it might
looks like a secretary, feels like a thief
for all this deadening there must be some relief
no*one shows her anything
the only thing that comes through is the beat
it’s the big beat
she talks to me
she says, ‘i’ve just come up for air’
she says, ‘take a look at me boys
take a good long look
i’ve just come up for air…’
