Halloween Dancer

about

"I'm a big haired disco kid, when you gonna ask me to dance with you?—" In her first single, Father Koi's lyrical yet poignant sounds touch upon the scene of an old-fashioned roller rink, combining Leslie Gore's wishes for a relationship with Mitski's compliance with oneself.

lyrics

you don't believe me
when I say that summer is slowly passing us by
how much of the world have I told
about your ability to get me to smile

like a dancer on halloween night
almost there my love but not quite
gently touch me and then turn away, mistake

'cause I'm a big haired disco kid
when you gonna ask me to dance my love
dance with me
rainbow lights and roller rink
leave me side-eyeing you
over a stale, sweet taste of cola
I don't think you're coming home
what's a girl like me to do alone tonight

wisdom teeth
have started to ache again
oh you're too sweet for me
gaps of silence
between the words of conversational talk
oh honey (honey, honey, honey)
when was the last time that you ever saw me cry in front of you

'cause like a dancer on halloween night
almost there my love but not quite
gently touch me and then turn away, mistake

'cause I'm a big haired disco kid
when you gonna ask me to dance my love
dance with me
rainbow lights and roller rink
leave me side-eyeing you
over a stale, sweet taste of cola
I don't think you're coming home
what's a girl like me to do alone tonight

[guitar solo]

'cause like a dancer on halloween night
almost there my love but not quite
gently touch me and then turn away, mistake

'cause I'm a big haired disco kid
when you gonna ask me to dance my love
dance with me
rainbow lights and roller rink
leave me side-eyeing you
over a stale, sweet taste of cola
I don't think you're coming home
what's a girl like me to do alone tonight
