Lyrics

Thanks for the dance
 I'm sorry you're tired
 The evening has hardly begun
 ♪
 Thanks for the dance
 Try to look inspired
 One two three, one two three one
 There's a rose in your hair
 Your shoulders are bare
 You've been wearing this costume forever
 ♪
 So turn up the music, pour out the wine
 Stop at the surface, the surface is fine
 We don't need to go any deeper
 ♪
 Thanks for the dance
 I hear that we're married
 One two three, one two three, one
 Thanks for the dance
 And the baby you carried
 It was almost a daughter, or a son
 
 And there's nothing to do, but to wonder if you
 Are as hopeless as me, and as decent
 We're joined in the spirit, joined at the hip
 Joined in the panic, wondering
 If we've come to some sort of agreement
 ♪
 Da, da, da-da
 ♪
 Da, da, da-da
 It was fine, it was fast
 We were first, we were last
 In line at the Temple of Pleasure
 But the green was so green, and the blue was so blue
 I was so I, and you were so you
 The crisis was light as a feather
 ♪
 Thanks for the dance
 It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
 Thanks for all the dances
 
 One two three, one two three, one
 Da, da, da-da
 ♪
 Da, da, da-da
