The Bad Popes - Somewhere Else Lyrics

Somewhere Else

There is a place called Somewhere Else
Where the dogs play on the floor
And the girls in their swaying dresses dance
To the music of the Blue Hill Boys
And if you want to sing out loud
You are welcome to
Doesn't really matter now if you're clapping
But most people often do

If the question's why we came to this place
Save your reason for another day
Cause your day is long and the night is wide
It's OK, won't you come inside

By the door there's a fellow there
Who will ask you for some change
No he isn't really with the band
He's just saving up for a drink
And on the wall a giant harp hangs
A fiddle and accordion
And pictures of all the bands that have played
In an emblem of the sun

Soon the room starts filling up
And you can't see the stage
The girl who was standing right next to you
She's dancing like a wave
And through the crowd there weaves a smile
It goes from face to face
You wouldn't even think about leaving now
It doesn't matter if it's getting late
