Lyrics

There's always some bird-dog

Describing someone observant or nosy

Snuffling, choking

Symbolizing discomfort or struggle

Looking like you came to collect

Referring to a person expecting something promised

Something you said you owed

Alluding to a debt or obligation

There's always some turtle snapping in my head

Expressing inner conflict or confusion

Saying you can't just waltz in here

Voice inside resisting a nonchalant attitude

Acting like nothing is wrong

Noticing a sense of denial or ignorance


No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Prohibition from dancing

Not while the road is racing

Connecting dancing to the fast-paced road of life

No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Reiterating the prohibition in relation to time

Not while the time is chasing

Linking dancing restriction to the passage of time


There's a poacher on the land

Referring to someone trespassing or violating

I recognize his hand

Recognizing a familiar influence or presence

In the mail

Pointing to a disturbance in communication

He's fogging up the glass

Indicating an obscured view or perspective

The bird is on the last

Highlighting a critical moment or situation

And here he comes

Anticipating an approaching event or consequence


Here he comes, oh

Repetition, possibly emphasizing the arrival


No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Prohibition from dancing with wires visible

Not while the wires are showing

Linking dancing restriction to exposed wires

No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Repeating prohibition in relation to time flow

Not while the time is flowing

Connecting dancing restriction to the passing time


There's a poacher on the land

Repetition of the presence of a violator

I recognize his hand

Recognizing a familiar influence or presence

In the mail

Reiteration of a disturbance in communication

He's fogging up the glass

Indicating an obscured view or perspective

The bird is on the last

Highlighting a critical moment or situation

And here he comes

Anticipating an approaching event or consequence


Here he comes, oh

Repetition, possibly emphasizing the arrival


No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Repetition of dancing prohibition

Not while the time is flowing

Emphasizing the restriction in relation to time

No dancing, no dancing, no dancing

Reiteration of dancing prohibition with exposed wires

Not while your wires are showing

Connecting dancing restriction to visible wires
