stop stop stop

see the girl with cymbals on her fingers

entering through the door

ruby glistening from her navel

shimmering around the floor

bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging

going through my head

sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops

running from her head

now she's dancing

going through the movements

swaying to and fro

body moving

bringing back a memory

thoughts of long ago

blood is rushing

temperature is rising

sweating from my brow

like a snake

her body fascinates me

i can't look away now

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

give me time to breathe

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

or i'll have to leave

now she's moving all around the tables

luring all in sight

but i know that she cannot see me

hidden by the light

closer

closer

she is getting nearer

soon she'll be in reach

as i enter into a spotlight

she stands lost for speech

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

give me time to breathe

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

or i'll have to leave

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

give me time to breathe

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

or i'll have to leave

now i hold her

people are staring

don't know what to think

and we struggle knocking over tables

spilling all the drinks

can't they understand that i want her

happens every week

heavy hand upon my collar

throws me in the street

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

give me time to breathe

stop

stop

stop all the dancing

or i'll have to leave
