Helpless Dancer Lyrics by Who
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
When a man is running from his boss
Who hold a gun that fires ''cost''
And people die from bein' old
Or left alone because they're cold

And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
And children's dreams are run with rats
If you complain you disappear
Just like the lesbians and queers

No one can love without the grace
Of some unseen and distant face
And you get beaten up by blacks
Who though they worked still got the sack

And when your soul tells you to hide
Your very right to die's denied
And in the battle on the streets
You fight computers and receipts

And when a man is trying to change
It only causes further pain
You realize that all along
Something in us going wrong

You stop dancing

Is he playing for a moment?
When a man is running from his boss   Who hold a gun that fires ''cost''   And people die from bein' old   Or left alone because they're cold      And bombs are dropped on fighting cats   And children's dreams are run with rats   If you complain you disappear   Just like the lesbians and queers      No one can love without the grace   Of some unseen and distant face   And you get beaten up by blacks   Who though they worked still got the sack      And when your soul tells you to hide   Your very right to die's denied   And in the battle on the streets   You fight computers and receipts      And when a man is trying to change   It only causes further pain   You realize that all along   Something in us going wrong      You stop dancing      Is he playing for a moment?
