lyrics

throw on
that old song
its unchanged melody
could calm you just like me
throw in
some dancing
the familiar rhythm
clears up that schism
but he refuses,
making excuses
you let your hair down
kick off your heels now
boxing the moonlight
till the sunrise taps you out
your hips snake in rhythm
bare feet in precision
a silhouette in constant motion
spinning a web to get his attention
& he refuses
making excuses
he won’t get down
no no no no no no
i can’t move to this song
i always move it wrong
i should be gone
i should be running along

no, i got work in the morning
think i ate something with poison
i’m hearing voices
i chipped my front tooth
i am telling the truth
i’m not makin’ excuses
i know it’s alarming
i think i have come down with something
these are not ruses
i’m not telling lies
i might die
i’m not making excuses

you’ve got no time to mend
a garden of lemons
that he planted in his kisses
when he thought you weren’t paying attention
he’s drinking milk so sour
getting boring by the hour
a silhouette in constant motion
spinning a web of tired affection
go in
with movement
a stiff stiletto
will move repetto
it’s so fleeting
bears repeating
i think you’re making it up
i can’t move to this song
i always move it wrong
i should be gone
i should be running along

no, i got work in the morning
think i ate something with poison
i’m hearing voices
i chipped my front tooth
i am telling the truth
i’m not makin’ excuses
i know it’s alarming
i think i have come down with something
these are not ruses
i’m not telling lies
i might die
i’m not making excuses
