lyrics

They will dance by your side
A slow and hopeless waltz
That will never disguise
Their clumsy feet's faults

A single look in their eyes
Will make them step on your toes
Will they stay in your mind
Goodwill humans at all ?

They only left to prevent you from being
forced to be dealing with them
on their knees
Your cherished beauty will fade into a dream

and soon you will fall asleep
on their knees
One could have seen it all coming
All predictable and clear

You will dance by yourself now
a troubleless waltz
the same your elders demised to you
when you were that brillant child

That every person around
Secretly admired
A ghost that led you to star
The favorite act of their lives

They only left to prevent you from being
forced to be dealing with them
on their knees
Your cherished beauty will fade

just a dream, a part of something you found
on their knees
One could have seen it all coming
All predictable and clear
