The Dancer

Across a darkened room you comfort me
There's nothing we can do or say
I loved the way you moved inside of me
My life's a tango and a sway

Whatever we do - whatever we say
Everything seems to entrance her
Maybe it's cause she's fallen for the dancer

Our bodies are controlled by saboteurs
We know the rhythm they enjoy
We twist around around and dream of words
And all we love is just a toy
Reaching and stretching until we tear it all to shreds
We could be lovers and kiss across another bed

Whatever we do - whatever we say
Everything seems to entrance her
Maybe it's cause she's fallen for the dancer

This dance has pinned me sprawling to the floor
With the romance and the pain
How come I am never tired of you
I'm even dancing in the rain
Sometimes I'd throw it all away or spill it in the sheets
We could be lovers and make a pact that one of us will cheat

Whatever you want - whatever you see
Everything seems to entrance her
Maybe it's cause she's fallen for the dancer
