The narrator watches as a girl who resembles his former lover, Martha, dances in the living room, and later joins her, bringing him back into the present and toward this new woman.
[Verse 1]
Martha's thin
Pretty, just like you
I held her close
Like I held you
[Verse 2]
Martha sways
And I follow suit
She fills my glass
And I toss it back
Into the space that once held you
[Chorus]
And dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
Dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
[Verse 3]
There's a weight
Holding me down
Martha says
It's all in my head
[Verse 4]
I look at the lights
Dancing in her eyes
And I wanna die
Dancing in her eyes
[Chorus]
Dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
Dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
Dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
Dance, dance to the radio
While the devil takes control
[Verse 5]
Martha spins
And I catch her hand
She smiles and laughs
Bringing me back
