said the dancer to the drummer
“you must take me as a lover, all the obstacles will melt away with time”
on the road i met a false knight
and i fell for all his lies
so i took his shame and turned it into pride
that’s right people i took the knife
and i gave my heart away to the jack of spades
he just has a way, has a way
said the dancer to the drummer
“if this ship is going under, you must learn to breathe in water and live on brine”
and should he ever try to rob her
that romanticized marauder
many a mark she swore to leave upon his mind
but all he could say was “i love you baby, you took my shame and turned into pride”
that’s right people they took the dive and they turned away from the light of day
she just has a way, has a way
Enchanted lovers (over and over) fall to their knees
What do they discover? (over and over)
Come, come and see!
The poor little rover (over and over)
Dead in a cold, dried up, martian sea
That's the way it was told to me
That’s the story was told to me
(You can make of it whatever you please
Now I must away with the breaking of day)
