Lyrics of Dance Apocalyptic by Janelle Monáe
intro
Dance apocalyptic (ooh!)
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic (ooh!)
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now
(Ahh!) Bands they make her dance apocalyptic
verse
You're goin' crazy, the hitmen always find you
Do that dance, smokin' in the girls' room
Kissin' friends, it's over like a comic book
Explodin' in a bathroom stall (ah!)
verse
She's so freaked out, worried 'bout the bomb threats
You bought a house, but I'm allergic to the house pets
Credit cards, they bought a new wife
For shiny little lonely men
chorus
But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
(Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang)
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
hook
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
verse
You gotta laugh at the zombie in the front yard
Take a bath, but nothin' gets the funk off
You're on TV, rockin' and a-rollin'
'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
verse
Sick and tired of food tasting plastic
You wanna cry, but they grew up without a real kitchen
Askin' why the pain is always equal
But the joy just never spreads around
chorus
But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
(Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang)
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
hook
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
verse
You're going crazy, the hitmen always find you
Do that dance, smokin' in the girls' room
Kissin' friends, keep a-rockin' and a-rollin'
'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
verse
So freaked out, worried 'bout the bomb threats
Bought a house, but I'm allergic to the house pets
Credit card, you're workin' and a-bobbin'
Just to make enough to pay your rent
chorus
But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
(Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang)
But I need to know if the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
hook
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang
outro
I've been-
Look at you
You look just like a little old earthquake
Break it, break it
You got to break it
Ain't no order in this courtroom
(Smash, smash, bang, bang)
Y'all goin' to jail (don't stop, chalang-alang-alang)
outro
What's the matter?
Your chicken tastes like pork?
You have triplets instead of twins?
Does your food taste plastic?
Writer(s): Nathaniel Irvin Iii, Janelle Monae Robinson, Charles Joseph Ii
