Lyrics for Safety Dance as interpreted by numb

Safety Dance Lyrics
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're, no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance, "dansez"

We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

And say

We can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

Safe to dance
Oh well its safe to dance
Yes it safe to dance

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never going to lose it
Everything will work out right

I say, We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

Well it's safe to dance
Yes it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Yes it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance
Well it's safe to dance

It's a Safety Dance
Well it's a Safety Dance
Oh it's a Safety Dance
Oh it's a Safety Dance
Well it's a Safety Dance

Not to be picky, but it's "we're doin' it from POLE to POLE"
I have the music video and you can plainly see the "P" formed with his lips. I'm also not too sure about the "Francois", either; although that IS hilarious in the video.

P.S.
I've looked at the woman in the video. I think she's saying either "and sing" or "or sing", or the musical term "dulce" that she pronounces "dull-SAY". She is definately NOT saying anything that begins with "f."

That's MHO. Anyone have any other ideas as to what shemight be saying? Anyone?

I dunno about all of what you people are saying. I just know it's a good song that has amazing potential to stick in the heads of all who pass. And the midget is cool too.

Yup. I'm going with "and sing". At least, that what I've thought ever since I first heard the song. But hey, whadda I know?
And yes, midgets will someday rule the worls, and make us all their slaves. Dude, did you know you can rent a midget??

About 58 seconds into the music video, after "and I can act like and imbecile" and starting at "Everything's outta control" ,
You can see the midget start to come swinging at Ivan(the singer) with the madolin and Ivan leaning against the gate, bracing for impact.

I'm sure you've all caught it, but's it's just a little part in it I thought was funny.

MIDGET'S REVENGE!!!

Yeah, you can rent a midget, kind of like you can rent a clown. It is sad. But they do it by choice, its not like they raise them on farms, or anything. Reminds me of that song..."Short people got no reason. Short people got no reason...to live". It says Dansez? What the fuck is 'dansez'?

This song some what sounds like its talking about one of the themes of the 80's carpie dieum. Just look at it
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine

-sounds like he is saying hey do what you want and if your friends don't want to well go ahead and do it any way

First off, it's pole to pole, as in all over the world, north pole/south pole. But I'm really posting this to tell you people about their new CD coming out in fall 2002. And by the by, have any of you heard their other stuff, it's really great. Safety Dance is good, but some of their other stuff is much better.

So here it is:
The songs about anti-nukes.The whole song is talking about dancing, like dancing around the fact to launch or not. And choosing friends to "dance with". Also how safe is it realy to dance with them. "Pole to Pole" would mean how everyone is getting involved with the idea. Im not realy sure but its the best i could get. The songs still good and the video is realy odd.
