Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears,
|
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name,
|
Something for everyone, try to win prizes,
|
Stay young and quiet.
|
|
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
|
Bubbles to the chandelier,
|
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint,
|
Stay behind me.
|
|
Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams,
|
They're too amazing, it'll melt their minds,
|
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts,
|
Become millionaires.
|
|
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
|
Bubbles to the chandelier,
|
I've been looking for you all night, Tall Saint,
|
Stay behind me now, Tall Saint.
|
|
In my city, I didn't make a sound,
|
When I fell over and cracked my crown,
|
Heard a woman say
|
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
|
|
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,

Stay behind me now, Tall Saint.
|
|
In my city, I didn't make a sound,
|
When I fell over and cracked my crown,
|
Heard a woman say
|
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
|
|
But I got up, got in a car,
|
Said "I don't think I'm gonna go very far"
|
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow,
|
And take me home.
