Some of Us Were Dancing Lyrics

I came of age here in this ballroom

Before it got painted white

Some kind of prom at graduation

Tucked-in dress shirt, disco lights

Some of us were dancing

None of us were free

Our first rehearsal room in the basement

Library on the top floor

I stood in my best shoes in-between them

Thinking I had hoped for more

Some of us were dancing

None of us were free

Self service in the coat room

Time to practice what they preach

To become most anything

Long as it's something within reach

We played this now-white ballroom

In two thousand thirteen

The new color makes it spacious

Still it's smaller than in my teens

We said we wouldn't listen

When they told us who to be

Some of us were dancing

None of us were free

Some of us were dancing

None of us were free
