lyrics

It's been a complete shock to this capitalist heart that I carry inside my chest, and I've been listening to my records from left to right
And where will I run to when they've all run out?
And who will this heart sing to when there's no one else?

You always wanted to dance alone
Be careful what you're wishing for
A mirror-image two-step partner
Dancehall on the third floor
Sound system in The Annex now you know that you can't afford
To let go by your friends outside and you are stuck in isolation

I've been meaning to make you a mixtape for sometime but my tape deck's been on the fritz
I would have put that one Rad Hos song on that we both really like
Some Lola Beltran and yeah, definitely some Fun Boy 3

You always wanted to dance alone
Be careful what you're wishing for
A mirror-image two-step partner
Dancehall on the third floor

There's blood in the cracks of my knuckles
There's blood in the grooves of the wax
Grime beneath my fingernails
This is the new dancehall. This is the new dancehall

Sound system in The Annex
Sound system gonna bring me back up right

To let go by your friends outside and you are stuck in your apartment
To let go by your friends outside and you are stuck in isolation
