Punchy and Layla's Dance In The Dark

"Punchy and Layla's Dance In The Dark" is Chris's tribute for Punchy and Layla, to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." Towards the end, Chris reveals that Punchy and Layla apparently like sex involving Punchy punching Layla. Or it's possible Chris was just talking about fisting, who knows.

Lyrics

[sung over Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark"]

Punchy gets up in the evening
And Punchy does not got nothing to say (?)
He comes home in the morning
He goes to bed in the same way
He ain't nothing but tired
And Punchy's just tired and bored with himself
{Yawning on this line} It's a bad day off (?)
He could use just a little help

Can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Punchy's dancing in the dark

Messages to leave her
Radio's on and Punchy's moving around the place
He checks his look in the mirror
He wants to change his clothes and hair and face
And he ain't getting nowhere
He's just living a dull life like this
But something happened from somewhere
Layla I just know we're there

Can't start a fire
Can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

They sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me

Staying on the streets of CWCVille
And they'll be carving them up all night (!?)
Then they got hungry
Hey Layla I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting around here trying to write
I need a love reaction
Come on Layla give me just one look

Can't start a fire
Sitting around crying of a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Can't start a fire
Worrying about your new world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
(Repeat X 2)

Hey, baby!

Uuueeerrra, Layla!
Yo Layla, Punchy's in and he's checking you out, girl!
Come on let's go hit the bed. (!?)
I'll throw my best punches!
Hwah! Hwah!
