lyrics

.
~ dance with her (again) ~
.

now bring to me the good old brandy
and gently turn the good old television on
and on through these tired reaches
the nerves here know the night is happening again
ah, na na na na, I love ya

and if I die tonight
her light would be my friend
ah that would be my chosen end
and if I step too close
my hair would stand on end
but I may not dance with her again

and I smile as all the names and faces
go flashing past the bleak the bleakest screen of all
the screens that are chipped and ragged.
they’re warm, they’re rich, they’re out there
but none of them are mine

*

the house where she dances is gold
the house where she dances is cold
the house where she dances is old
the house where she dances is sold

and she kissed me, called me inside and told me her name for once it was wild
and I loved her here on this icy couch for her heart as much as her style
and the ceiling weeps and it falls away, but in the corner there it goes on
and I cut her short in the dead of night, but the tune lingers on

and the tune seems to linger on
