Best Of...

Dancing on My Own Ground

on ...but You Can Call Me Larry (2016), Best Of... (2008)

I must confess
I more or less
Have played your last request
I took a trip
Aboard your ship
Well, now we're back, I guess

When I let you tempt me
Did I think my tank was empty
Or just running low?
Don't know
One too many pieces missing
Had to learn how not to listen
Now I know

I've finally come around
Dancing on my own ground again
All that I'd lost I found
Dancing on my own ground again
And I'm all right

On my return
The bridge was burned
But some self-respect I'd earned
And no more betrayed
No judges paid
Another page has turned

Many stars have fallen
'Cause they thought they heard the calling
From a better place
Yeah, yeah
Tumbling ever after
To the echoed hollow laughter
But they're lost in space

I've finally come around
Dancing on my own ground again
All that I'd lost I found
Dancing on my own ground again
And I'm all right

When I let you tempt me
Did I think my tank was empty
Or just running low?
Oh
Were one too many pieces missing
Had to learn how not to listen
Now I know

Dancing on my own ground again
Love me or shoot me down
I'm dancing on my own ground again
And I'm all right, yeah, yeah

Dancing on my own ground again
Love me or shoot me down
Dancing on my own ground again
And I'm all right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dancing on my own ground again
And I'm all right

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🍾

27 years.
TWENTY SEVEN YEARS since this was a minor hit in Canada and stuck in my head. Every year or so I spend a few hours googling lyrics and going through playlists of artists with a voice similar to this from late 80s early 90s and I finally found it thank you.

Tears of joy for finding it even though the song is just okay kinda good not fantastic
