"Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere / Dance Dance Dance (Medley)" lyrics - ELVIS COSTELLO & RUSTY

I think I'd like to go back home and take it easy
There's a woman that I'd like to get to know living there
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around

[Chorus:]
Everybody knows this is nowhere (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Everybody, everybody knows (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Every time I think about back home, it's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there right now just passing time
Everybody seems to wonder what it's like down here
Gotta get away from this day-to-day running around

[Chorus:]
Everybody knows this is nowhere (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Everybody, everybody knows (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Everybody, everybody knows (La-la-la, la-la-la-la)

[Part II: "Dance Dance Dance"]

Never thought love had a rainbow on it
Used to think a cloud was a nightmare
That was up until when I first met you
Now I go around hoping you care

[Chorus:]
Dance, dance, feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance
Never thought love had a rainbow on it
See the girl dance
See the girl dance

Mississippi mud never touched her fingers
California sand lies in her hand
Love her more than life as the daylight lingers
Early in the morning, I'll be her man

[Chorus:]
Dance, dance, feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance
Never thought love had a rainbow on it
See the girl dance
See the girl dance

[Post-Chorus:]
See the girl dance

[Outro:]
See the girl dance
