She worked as an extra in the cabaret
Got her lucky break in the matinee
Quite a good crowd for a Saturday
And it sent her the wrong way
In a moment she was hooked and became obsessed
She went home but never shed her sequin dress
Her jaded lover told her he was unimpressed
But she really couldn't have cared less
Jiving down to Tango in the Golden Fleece
Spied a fella moving his two left feet
He boogied up to her, will you dance with me
Now they dance together in a sleepless dream
We're spinning
Tripping
We're swaying
Gyrating
Pirouetting
Cavorting
Whirling and twirling but now she fears the rhythm
They lived in a house that was always shaking
The shapes that they threw not the love they were making
He gave all he could, he knew she was faking
Her mind was on other things
So tell me how you're going to take your mind away
Your feet look like they could use a holiday
She worked as an extra in the cabaret
But it sent her wrong way
They said that death couldn't pull the rug from her feet
Now she dances alone in a sleepless dream
Dream
Chasing the dream
She knows the fall before she sees it
Took her years to finally beat the disease
Took her years to finally feel the release
Told her lover she had wasted his time
It was a love I couldn't wait to be mine
You Know
You get it
It's fine
Don't sweat it
In time
It goes
Just wants to steal the show
Stop a minute, let reality flow
Into your mind, let it take hold
Is this the feeling that you thought you'd feel
How long has everything ceased to be real?
You said it
We're spinning
Tripping
We're swaying
Gyrating
Pirouetting
Cavorting
Whirling and twirling but now she fears the rhythm
