Tonight We Mean It

The 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 autonomous 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
