Young Fools
Dancing in the Dark: Chronicles of Young Fools' Midnight Revelry
Lyrics
That night when all the lights when out in our place
Describing a specific night when all lights went out in their place.
We strung a cord from our friends next door to play the stereo
Setting up a makeshift connection to play music with neighbors' help.
So we could dance in the dark
Creating an atmosphere to dance in the dark due to the blackout.
Blackout blackout
Repetition of "Blackout blackout" possibly emphasizing the darkness.
Young fools
Addressing themselves or others as young fools.
Young fools
Reiteration of the phrase "Young fools."
Why aren’t we bored anymore?
Raising a question about the absence of boredom.
Why aren’t we bored anymore?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the change in their state.
Punch drunk, too awake to sleep, 4 am
Describing a state of alertness and restlessness at 4 am.
Out on the porch the bottle kept us warm, we passed a cigarette
Using a bottle and a cigarette to create a setting for dancing in the light.
So we could dance in the light
Continuation of creating an atmosphere for dancing.
All night, all night
Emphasizing the duration by repeating "All night, all night."
Young fools
Referring to themselves or others as young fools again.
Young fools
Reiteration of the phrase "Young fools."
We couldn’t stop laughing, my head in your lap
Describing a moment of uncontrollable laughter with intimacy.
You braided my hair too tight, and I snapped
Physical connection described through hair braiding, which ends abruptly.
I swore I’d keep in touch, how we swore we’d keep in touch
Pledging to stay in touch, expressing a commitment made in the past.
Young fools
Addressing themselves or others as young fools once again.
Young fools
Reiteration of the phrase "Young fools."
Why aren’t we bored anymore?
Repeating the question about the absence of boredom.
