[Verse 1]
I had a dream last night I was piloting a plane
And all the passengers were drunk and insane
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
Shot up a horde of zombies, but I come out on top

[Pre-Chorus]
What's it all about?
Guess it just reflects my mood
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt

[Chorus]
When all I hear is doom and gloom
With all this darkness in my room
Through that light, your face, I see
Baby, take a chance
Baby, won't you dance with me?

[Verse 2]
We lost all that treasure in an overseas war
Just goes to show you don't get what you paid for
Bowing to the rich and you worry 'bout the poor
Put my feet up on the couch and lock all the doors

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that funky noise?
It's the tightening of their screws
Sitting in the dirt
Feeling kind of hurt

[Chorus]
All I hear is doom and gloom
But when those drums go
Boom, boom, boom
Through that night, your face, I see
Baby, take a chance
Baby, won't you dance with me?
Yeah, baby, won't you dance with me?
Ah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Fracking deep for oil
But there's nothing in the sump
There's kids all picking at the garbage dump
I'm running out of water, so I better prime the pump
I'm trying to stay sober, but I end up drunk

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll be eating dirt
Living on the side of the road
There's some food for thought
Gonna make your head explode
Feeling kind of hurt, yeah

[Chorus]
But all I hear is doom and gloom
With all this darkness in my room
Through that night, your face I see
Baby, take a chance
Baby, won't you dance with me?

[Outro]
Yeah, come on
Baby won't you dance with me?
I'm feeling kind of hurt
Baby, won't you dance with me?
Oh yeah, sitting in the dirt
Baby, won't you dance with me?

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
