Dancing in Pairs Lyrics by Carner & Gregor

Island Song

0

Here in the club
In tsunamis of noise
Where the boys
Need a scrub
But it’s too dark to know
And they know
How to glow
In the flickers of light
And they flock
As you rock
You excite
As they press…
You release all your poise
For the joys of the beat
And you welcome deceit
‘Cause sometimes all you want is a “yes.”
And you stumble outside
With a boy, maybe not
The excitement has died
Or it will in an hour
And either way, after you shower
What have you got?
Long ago, or so they tell me
So they tell me
People danced in pairs
And they never knew the numbing
Of the drumming
Back when murmured words could catch you unawares
In the past, or so they whisper
So they whisper
Couples danced in twos
Long before these flashes woke us
We could focus
On the gaze that gave the necessary cues
And I could share
My inmost thought
And all I sought
Would be right there
Come and dance me ‘cross the ballroom beams
Quick, before my hopes all give out
Let us live out
All our dreams
And in my dreams
I love the way he waltzes
I love the way he looks in my eyes
He can un-sheath
The soul underneath…
It’s awfully quiet;
What does he expect me to say?
Where are the drumbeats to fill in each pause?
And where are the strobe lights to hide all my flaws
He’d probably stare
And I’d feel so bare…
Thank goodness I’m not really there
Though the thought may overwhelm me
When they tell me
People danced in pairs
If I only let my mask down
Take a deep breath
Then, instead of having flings
I’ll have affairs
In a time long out of fashion
They knew passion
As they danced alone
And they’d know a true desire
And conspire
On just how to dodge the dozing chaperone
Then out! Into the night
The moonlight waned
As they walked on
And, into one another’s eyes
Before the rising dawn had caught them
They’d be gone
