Slow Club Dance Till the Morning Light song lyrics

There are things in my wallet I will never use

I’m the fifty-first member of a god-awful group

Connected by rain they said we’re all the same

But I don’t know, I don’t know, if they’re telling the truth

Like a field of rice, I’ve grown out of view

An Olympian came to fill the shoes you knew

Oh he could reach the sockets that I could never twist

So now you can cross me off that goddamn list

Cause there’s always that someone who’ll be easier on your eyes

So forget the politics of living alone

And just dance ‘till the morning light

I saw you in the background the other day

On a television to some story-grey

You sat on the steps of the New Court House

Spinning that wheel you said you’d show me how

You chased me through the carriage on a train

But I reached the next one before you came

And I pulled out the pin between yours and mine

I kept going; you got left behind

Cause there’s always that someone who’ll be easier on your eyes

So forget the politics of living alone

And just dance ‘till the morning light

I heard you were looking for a man to lead

Well, I can tell you that I’m not the one you need

I’m always three steps behind the dance and the time

So if I can’t change for you, I won’t change for me

Oh as stubborn as it is, as stubborn as I am

I can tell you that there is no pearl in this clam

Oh a diamond maybe, I stole it see

But it was only to try and get you home with me

When there’s always that someone who’ll be easier on your eyes

So forget the politics of living alone

And just dance ‘till the morning light
