A                                 G
Lucy I know what you're going to going to do

Oh Lucy look what you're doing I'm doing it too

I say trust Him at once which is something these days

Did the world just explode?

Don't recognize anyone

But you've still got me under your thumb

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Bm                       F#
Pursuing your frenzy in Ritz or Savoy
         G
In this sexual noise, vicious chords offer joy
Gm                                      C#dim7
You live and you die in the blink of an eye

                       D
Well I can't make you dance
G
Lucy can't dance
              Bm
Dance to the noise

Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
 G
Lucy can't dance
              Bm
Dance to the noise
 C#dim7
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can
                                                                G A G
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

Lucy I know what you're going to going to do
But you can't buy me off in this serial world
Who who who died and made you material girl?

Chorus:
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do

So I'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong
Guess I'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song

Chorus:
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Da da da  da  da  da da da da da da da  da  da da da da da

Or this shallow orb mugged by reality
Just a few simple words like I love you, I need you
Live and you die in the blink of an eye

Chorus:
Still I can't make you dance
Lucy can't dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Can do, Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
