TAP DANCING IN THE MINEFIELD Rev Aug 30th 2012
MAB/John Westwood. Vocals and sound By Dale Crockett
Some days I feel I speak a different language
Get confused in simple conversation
How did How’ve you been?
Turn into a Spanish Inquisition
My girls’ Dad thinks that I’m a Martian
When I’m around, he acts like I’m the weird one
Like my head is one of his trophies,
mounted over his guns
Try to watch what words I use
But no matter what I do
Chorus
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
WALKING AROUND TIP TOEING ON EGGSHELLS
OPEN MOUTH INSERT FOOT. WONDERING IF I SHOULD
KEEP MY TRAP SHUT OR SAY HOW I REALLY FEEL
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
In the check out at Kroger buying groceries
Woman in line, bumps into me
Says I smiled wrong at her,
poked me with her finger
There’s a fine line between being helpful
And causing somebody to go postal
Where that line is, is anybody’s guess
I can’t figure out
Should I just be a grouch
Chorus
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
WALKING AROUND TIP TOEING ON EGGSHELLS
OPEN MOUTH INSERT FOOT. WONDERING IF I SHOULD
KEEP MY TRAP SHUT OR SAY HOW I REALLY FEEL
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
Intrapersonal Miscommunication
sometimes leads to misinterpretation
say what you mean, mean what you say
somebody might get it wrong any way
Chorus
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
WALKING AROUND TIP TOEING ON EGGSHELLS
OPEN MOUTH INSERT FOOT. WONDERING IF I SHOULD
KEEP MY TRAP SHUT OR SAY HOW I REALLY FEEL
Feels like I’M TAP DANCING IN A MINEFIELD
