Keep it Hot

3 in the morning
2 of us are wondering how
1 day all of this might change

A long, long time ago
Before you were born there were
Sea's that covered up this land

And the dinosaurs went stepping out
They use to shake and rattle their bones
They’d dance all day until the sun went down
And the world just got too damn cold
So you better keep it hot, keep it hot, keep it hot tonight!

Now its one step forward and three to the right
and lately I'm too tired to fight
But I could dance until the evening sun goes down

Yeah, its one step up and you fall on your face
But, that's ok I've never put much stock in grace
So just hold my hand and we'll make it through just fine

Yeah the dinosaurs used to go stepping out
They’d shake and rattle their bones
They’d dance all day until the sun went down
And the world just got too damn cold
So you better keep it hot, keep it hot, keep it hot tonight!

You can take a great leap forward, but who knows where you'll land
If you never look back, you'll never understand
It's knowledge, It's just justice without compassion

So, it's one step forward and two steps lost
and when you stop to measure out the costs
You're bound to find your still so far behind

But, the dinosaurs they went stepping out
They use to shake and rattle their bones
They’d dance all day until the sun went down
And the world just got too damn cold
So you better keep it hot, keep it hot, keep it hot tonight!

Yeah, I’ve been marking hope on a beach in the changing tide
When maybe the victory is just to stay alive
or to dance in the warm sunlight

I'm either one step early or three steps late
I don't know how much more I can take
I need to sing before I forget the song

Yeah, the dinosaurs went stepping out
They use to shake and rattle their bones
They’d dance all day until the sun went down
And the world just got too damn cold
So you better keep it hot, keep it hot, keep it hot tonight!

Yeah, it's
3 in the morning and now the
2 of us are wondering if
1 day all of this might change
