Fish - A Gentleman's Excuse Me lyrics

rate me

Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your belgian lace

Taking them out every year to watch the colors fade away?

Do you still believe in fairy talesin battlements of shining castles

Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill?

Are you still a russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer

To anyone who'll listen is that a story you tell?

You live a life of fantasyyour diary romantic fiction.

Can't you see it's hard for mecan you see what I am trying to say?

It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side.

Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing?

For every one step forward we're taking two steps back.

Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing?

I know you still like old fashioned waltzes

Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor

But if I told you the music's over would you want to hear

That your dance card is empty that there's no-one really there?

Do you still believe in santa clausthat there's a millionaire

Looking at your front door with a key to a life that you'd never understand?

All I have to offer is the love that I haveit's freely given

You'll see it's value when you see what I've tried to say.

It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side.

Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing?

For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back.

Can you get it in your head that from this one step forward

There's no turning back?

Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing?

We're finished dancing.
