I can't believe it,
|
I must be dreaming,
|
she turns the sound down,
|
says ˇ°I am heaving,
|
this is a freak showˇ±
|
and I am screaming...
|
She spins the world round,
|
I want to stop.
|
|
Bitter sweet again,
|
her opening move.
|
Down and out in black,
|
soft shiny and smooth.
|
Looks like the alien crowd got groove.
|
She burns her name into my arm,
|
but I can never get through
|
|
to play the game,
|
she's trying to lose.
|
Her ultraviolet
|
makes it harder to choose.
|
Looks like the edge of the the Earth got moved.
|
She blurs away across the floor,
|
I spin to swallow the view.
|
|
And it's the same sway,
|
yeah it's the same slide,
|
it's the same stare,
|
oh it's the same smile.
|
Yeah it's the same but...
|
It's not quite right
|
|
Oh it's insane,
|
she shakes like a freak.
|
Stuck in the middle of the room
|
for a week.
|
Looks like the only way to get on the beat,
|
is take her up on how to swing,
|
but I am missing my feet.
|
|
And it's the same sway,
|
yeah it's the same slide,
|
it's the same swish,
|
oh it's the same smile.
|
Yeah it's the same but...
|
It's not quite right
|
|
I'm in a step
|
...Out!
|
She's two more steps
|
...Down!
|
For three steps up
|
...Clap!
|
And go around
|
...Ow!
|
It makes my head buzz,
|
she wants to come now,
|
I want to stop.
|
|
Always infradig,
|
her finishing move.
|
Up and down in black,
|
soft shiny and smooth.
|
Looks like the alien crowd got groove.
|
She cuts a number out my arm,
|
but I can never get through
|
|
to play this game,
|
she's trying to lose.
|
The stuff from Mars
|
makes it harder to choose.
|
Looks like the final frontier got moved.
|
She blurs away across the floor,
|
I spin to swallow the view.
|
|
And it's the same sway,
|
yeah it's the same slide,
|
it's the same strip,
|
oh it's the same smile.
|
Yeah it's the same but...
|
It's not quite right...
|
|
I can't believe it,
|
I must be dreaming,
|
she turns the lights up,
|
says she is leaving.
|
This is a freak show,
|
and I am beaten...
|
She spins the world round,
|
I have to stop.
