Monáe, Janelle - Dance Apocalyptic Lyrics






Dance apocalyptic
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now
Bands they make her dance apocalyptic

You're going crazy
The hitmen always find you
Do that dance
Smoking in the girls room
Kiss in France
It's over like a comic book
Exploding in a bathroom stall
She's so freaked out
Worrying about the bomb but
You bought a house
But I'm allergic to the house pets
Your credit cards
They bought a new wife
For shiny little lonely men

But I really, really wanna thank you
For dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang

You gotta laugh at the zombie in the front yard
Take a bath, but nothing gets the funk off
You're on TV, rocking and a rolling
Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
Sick and tired of food tasting plastic
You wanna cry
But they grew up without a real kitchen
Asking why the pain is always equal
But the joy just never spreads around

But I really, really wanna thank you
For dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang

You're going crazy
The hitmen always find you
Do that dance
Smoking in the girls room
Kissing friends
Keep a rocking and a rolling
Cause the dead just love to rock and roll
So freaked out, worried about the bomb
Bought a house, but I'm allergic to the house pets
Your credit cards, working and a-bobbing
Just to make enough to pay your rent

But I really, really wanna thank you
For dancing 'til the end
You found a way to break out
You're not afraid to break out
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you freak out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
But I need to know
If the world says it's time to go
Tell me, will you break out?
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang
Smash, smash, bang, bang
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang

[Spoken]
I've been
Look at you
You look just like a little old earthquake
Break it, break it
You got to break it
Ain't no order in this courtroom
Smash, smash, bang, bang
(Y'all going to jail)
Don't stop
Chalangalangalang

[Android Voice]
What's the matter?
Your chicken tastes like pork?
You have triplets instead of twins?
Is your food taste plastic?
Grandaddy, I think I wanna dance

  1. K.... F....

    Such a good song and voice.

  2. K.... F....

    This is freakin amazing!

  3. W.... B....

    Who else noticed that she did the moon walk at 3:22

  4. D.... S....

    #A&H💜 #UVreavealsalot 🎙🖤😅👑💋🎸 #ummmmmm 😂😂😂🐿

  5. R.... V....

    Damn, she's thick asf

  6. L.... B....

    2019🤍

  7. D.... S....

    You poor girl having to play it over and over hahaha. I said to Spirit.. that's me..ummmmmmmm what's happening here? Hmmmm hahah GOLDEN.. all 🖤

  8. m.... ....

    Awesome

  9. B.... F....

    How can you listen to this song, watch this video and "not move one inch"?? I can't stop wiggling and singing at the top of my lungs!💖💖
    And I'm a white chick.

  10. r.... ....

    I could do without 2:11 interruption halfway through the video.

  11. L.... M....

    Should've known Janelle was #teamgay because of 2:02 ❤❤❤

  12. W.... J....

    #TheElectricLady!

  13. P.... ....

    That song basically consists of 4 chords. It even has built in interruptions that the low IQ people that this song is designed for don't realise that. Take the interruptions away and you have a song that basically repeats the same 4 chords for over 4 minutes. Only musically illiterates don't get bored from this monotonous melody of this song.
    And you are really asking why this song representing the epitome of boredom didn't become a hit ?

    P.... ....

    Well, most songs, regardless of popularity, have only 3–6 chords in them. It’s called a Rhythm. Because a fast paced song (like this one) would sound erratic and weird if it had more than 4 chords. That’s how music works.

    But, of course, you’re a musical savant. You would know that. You’re obviously making tons of money revolutionizing music with your new tunes. Other pop stars are backing down and bowing to you, giving up their millions of dollars because there will never be anyone better than you, you fucking elitist.

  14. U.... o....

    And I really really want to thank you for dancing to end

  15. H.... ....

    She’s like the female version of Michael Jackson!

  16. J.... D....

    Damn, can't sit still. This song rocks.

  17. E.... H....

    Is that Meegan in the audience?

  18. D.... H....

    no I don't know what that means

  19. E.... H....

    Janelle stay true to the funk. The world needs that funk. Shelia E on drums, pick the good brass. Make a sound

  20. A.... ....

    If Janelle Monáe continued in that style of music and art I would be one of her biggest fans because she reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson and James Brown. For me it's very annoying when the artist puts a feminist or LGBT agenda in the songs, most of the time it does not sound spontaneous and that's what she's doing. I like this song very much, but the others that came later did not please me at all.

  21. E.... H....

    If Prince & Michael Jackson had a biological daughter.( I mean that as a monumental compliment to her.) It should be illegal to be that amazingly, effortlessly, multi-talented AND flawlessly beautiful too.

  22. D.... B....

    Is that Jidenna?

    D.... B....

    Ok.. Yes it is.

  23. A.... J....

    Because...Most Black people seem willing to buy into the philosophy that...anything of moral high quality is...OLD SCHOOL...and anything degrading and Vulgar is the New School...of which they want to be good students...............

  24. D.... H....

    the lady on the Good tAr. is to. the right end with piety long. money tales who is. that?

  25. B.... R....

    0:46 😍😍😍😍😍

  26. A.... J....

    WOW....I LOST 5 POUNDS JUST WATCHIN THIS SONG........HEHEHEH

  27. D.... H....

    D.... H....

  28. A.... G....

    2019??? 😍

  29. P.... ....

  30. B.... W....

  31. c.... b....

    c.... b....

  34. D.... ....

    It was a good run guys, cya.

  51. M.... ....

    !Gorgeous!

  52. m.... ....

    I love Janelle as well as all beautiful women, but if she were a black man, most would call him color struck for having nothing but light skin slim women in their video..
    No way in hell would I make a video with nothing but light skin black males...

  53. J.... R....

    What happen to here she was so hot

    J.... R....
