Thanks for the Dance

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 is 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 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
