The Ropes

Twelve fifteen, I'm leaving slowly
Trying to catch your eye, and your hand
What a thing, I want you only
Honey, do you understand
Ten o'clock, you're walking over
Waited till I'm laughing with him
Throwing darts and talking art
we're touching but not touching again

No one knows better than I do
The cliches, a replay of all the soaps
Picture me, darling, without my costume
Promise I'll learn the ropes

Ten past nine, I watch you watch me
You're talking loudly to your fans
Feel your look and hear your laughter
Honey, could we just shake hands
Eight o'clock, you see me, look up
Pretending you don't know I've come in
Saying hi and buying drinks
I know you'll avoid me till 10

No one knows better than I do
The cliches, a replay of all the soaps
Picture me, darling, without my costume
Promise I'll learn the ropes

When you want a smoke and I'm drinking Coke
We'll starting acting more like we're friends

No one knows better than I do
The cliches, a replay of all the soaps
Picture me, darling, without my costume
Promise I'll learn the ropes

Promise I'll learn the ropes
And when you want a smoke
We'll replay all the soaps
Darling, I'll learn the ropes
Cause no one knows better than I do
Better than I do
Better than we do, honey
