One, two, three, four
You look so statuesque
In your soft liquid dress
Out of silver and gold
And the way, the way that you are bold
The house is tawdry and old
And this draft in the corridor is cold
The paintings cover up the walls
Well come to the dance, come to the ball
Are you hungry? I got plenty to eat
Something strange between bitter and sweet
It's going to get cold before it gets warm
Come to the dance, come to the ball
Can we be together?
Can it be forever?
Just our night
The bedroom ain't been slept in for years
With a soft song playing, there were no cheers
(...) something to show
Well come to the dance, come to the ball
You want to play games or you want to talk?
It's going to get cold before it gets warm
Come to the dance, come to the ball
Come to the dance
You want to dance or you want to talk?
Come to the dance, come to the ball
Come to the dance, come to the ball
Come to the dance
