Thanks for the Dance - Anjani Thomas

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 my hair

My shoulders are bare

I’ve been wearing this costume

Forever

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 I 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

I was first I was 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’s been hell, it’s been swell

It’s been fun

Thanks for all the dances

One two three, one two three one
