[Intro]
For the gangster in New Mexico
Low brim
Low echo
Whole room leanin' when we step through the threshold (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Ink on his knuckles, dust on his shoes
Eyes on the exits, never gon' lose
Desert in his blood, heat in his stare
Everybody part when he walk through there (uh)
Chrome on the buckle, ace in the vest
Never say much, still beat on his chest
Whole clan posted by the wall in the back
But the lights go sick when he slide on the track (skrrt)
[Chorus]
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
That's what we really came here for (came here for)
This is how we take each other on the dance floor (yeah, yeah)
Step up, step in, then we go to war (go to war)
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
Heat in the eyes, hands to the sky, hardcore
This is how we take each other on the dance floor
One move, one stare, then we go some more (go some more)
[Verse 2]
Shorty in the red dress, wild in the hips
Tattoo on her wrist, match steel on his clip
Laugh like danger, smile like sin
Said, "If you wanna prove somethin', show me then" (show me then)
Circle in the center, bodies in a ring
No words spoken, just let ’em swing
She throw it back, he catch that sway
Two outlaws locked in a little ballet (woah)
[Chorus]
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
That's what we really came here for (came here for)
This is how we take each other on the dance floor (yeah, yeah)
Step up, step in, then we go to war (go to war)
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
Heat in the eyes, hands to the sky, hardcore
This is how we take each other on the dance floor
One move, one stare, then we go some more (go some more)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and claps]
Whole set throwin' up the sign, that code
Dust town legends in a line, all froze
DJ cut, then the crowd get low
He whisper in her ear, "You already know"
[Chorus]
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
That's what we really came here for (came here for)
This is how we take each other on the dance floor (yeah, yeah)
Step up, step in, then we go to war (go to war)
Let's work it out on the dance floor (dance floor)
Heat in the eyes, hands to the sky, hardcore
This is how we take each other on the dance floor
New Mexico crazy, better ask what for (what for)
