Ballroom again
It's been a while since I've seen the end
Pull down real hard the latch to the gate at the entrance of the yard
Slide up the steps into a hall where the walls cry
Enter the door into a room where she tries to get ready

Can you hand me makeup please?
It's already a quarter to three and I hate to keep him waiting
It never made much sense to me
How even the lonesome trees can always dance with the breeze

Start smoking again
Are you in a rush to taste the end?
This moving heps you mend
So you dance with him and dance until the end
Take off your shoes
Your balance you start to lose
I swear I'd leave as long as I never come back to this place

There's something sliding up the stairs
Now it's entering the door
In the middle of the room she is dancing with her groom
But there is nothing in her arms as she spins him round and round

"Hello darling It's been a while but now it is the end
Hold onto my hand and we'll bury ourselves in the land
Down here we all dance the same
We don't even have any names
Make yourself right at home
Baby you'll be dancing alone"
