The Hooters

The Hooters (frequently listed simply as "Hooters", without the definite article) are an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By combining a mix of rock and roll, reggae, ska and folk music, The Hooters first gained major commercial success in the United States in the mid 1980s due to heavy radio and MTV airplay of several songs including "All You Zombies", "Day by Day", "And We Danced" and "Where Do the Children Go". Their popularity resulted in the band opening the Philadelphia portion of the Live Aid benefit concert in 1985. more »

I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run 
Past this lonesome graveyard where the highway meets the sun 
Well that old graveyard's been around since the civil war 
I had a feelin' that I'd been here before 

I heard a voice, it was talkin' real slow 
She said it's time to make a choice, is it yes or is it no 
I said ok, do what you want to do 
Then she took me to a world I never knew 

Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts 
We were doin' that graveyard waltz 
After all is said and done we were just too young 
To be doin' that graveyard waltz 

Next thing I knew the first dance was done 
But this magic carpet ride had just begun 
Heaven only knows where she learned to drive 
Between the tombstones and the ones still left alive 

And then that old soul band began to play 
In triple time, she was begging me to stay 
And when the masquerade had started up again 
She said this is the night that never ends 

Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts 
We were doin' that graveyard waltz 
After all is said and done we were just too young 
To be doin' that graveyard waltz 

I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run
