SEE THE GIRL
WITH CYMBALS ON
HER FINGERS
ENTERING THROUGH
THE DOOR
RUBY GLISTENING
FROM HER NAVEL
SHIMMERING AROUND
THE FLOOR
BELLS ON FEET GO
TING A LING A LINGING
GOING THROUGH MY HEAD
SWEAT IS FALLING
JUST-A-LIKE-A TEAR DROPS
RUNNING FROM HER HEAD
NOW SHE DANCING
GOING THROUGH
THE MOVEMENTS
SWAYING TO AND FRO
BODY MOVING BRINGING
BACK A MEMORY
THOUGHTS OF LONG AGO
BLOOD IS RUSHING
TEMPERATURE IS RISING
SWEATING FROM MY BROW
LIKE A SNAKE HER BODY
FASCINATES ME
I CAN'T LOOK AWAY NOW
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
GIVE ME TIME TO
BREATHE
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
OR I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE
NOW SHE'S MOVING
ALL AROUND THE TABLES
LURING ALL IN SIGHT
BUT I KNOW THAT
SHE CANNOT SEE ME
HIDDEN BY THE LIGHT
CLOSER CLOSER
SHE IS GETTING NEARER
SOON SHE'LL BE
IN REACH
AS I ENTER INTO
A SPOTLIGHT
SHE STANDS LOST
FOR SPEECH
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
GIVE ME TIME TO
BREATHE
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
OR I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE
16 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
GIVE ME TIME TO
BREATHE
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
OR I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE
NOW I HOLD HER
PEOPLE ARE STARING
DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO THINK
AND WE STRUGGLE
KNOCKING OVER TABLES
SPILLING ALL THE DRINKS
CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND
THAT I WANT HER
HAPPENS EVERY WEEK
HEAVY HAND UPON
MY COLLAR
THROWS ME
IN THE STREET
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
GIVE ME TIME TO
BREATHE
STOP STOP STOP
ALL THE DANCING
OR I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE
