Well, it came out in conversation
Under police surveillance in some shady bar
A rather sticky situation
Some cholo's gun against my head
He wants to cap me dead
Just be cool, no hesitation
Now they've offered a deal that you just can't refuse
But bet you're gonna lose

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion

You gave an oath of obligation
There ain't no referee for what's been disagreed
A lesson for your graduation
The evil always wants more
Once inside your door

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion

That's when you wish that you were somewhere else
Dance, dance, dancing
And you feel like you could dance the night away

It's in the power of viscious tongue
It makes you get up and wanna run
You've got the power in your mind
You've got the time on your side
You've got the power to beat it
You know just how to defeat it
Forceful manipulation
The power of persuasion
