Thanks for the dance
I'm sorry you're tired
The evening has hardly begun
ย
Thanks for the dance
Try to look inspired
One two three, one two three one
There's a rose in your hair
Your shoulders are bare
You've been wearing this costume forever
ย
So turn up the music, pour out the wine
Stop at the surface, the surface is fine
We don't need to go any deeper
ย
Thanks for the dance
I hear that we're married
One two three, one two three, one
Thanks for the dance
And the baby you carried
It was almost a daughter, or a son
And there's nothing to do, but to wonder if you
Are as hopeless as me, and as decent
ย
We're joined in the spirit, joined at the hip
Joined in the panic, wondering
If we've come to some sort of agreement
ย
Da, da, da-da
ย
Da, da, da-da
It was fine, it was fast
We were first, we were last
In line at the Temple of Pleasure
But the green was so green, and the blue was so blue
I was so I, and you were so you
The crisis was light as a feather
ย
Thanks for the dance
It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
Thanks for all the dances
One two three, one two three, one
Da, da, da-da
ย
Da, da, da-da
