Thanks for the Dance

Thanks for the dance, I'm sorry you're tired
The evening has hardly begun
Thanks for the dance, try to look inspired
One two three, one two three one

There's a rose in my hair, my shoulders are bare
I've been wearing this costume forever
Turn up the music, pour out the wine
Stop at the surface, the surface is fine
We don't need to go any deeper

Thanks for the dance, I hear that we're married
One two three, one two three one
Thanks for the dance, and the baby I 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
We're joined in the spirit, joined at the hip, joined in the panic
Wondering if, we've come to some sort of agreement

La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la

It was fine it was fast, I was first I was 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

Thanks for the dance
It's been hell, it's been swell, it's been fun
Thanks for all the dances
One two three, one two three one

Thanks for the dance
Thanks for the dance
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
