lyrics

Graceful lady with the lamps
In the back of my mind you’re setting up camp
Putting new shades on old bases
Showing skin in suggestive places
Patient waiting for the dance
Does this skinny have a chance?

If you came to my rescue
Courageously like not everyone would do
Hedging bets on shore leave sailors
Letting go of your fear of failure
One of us is led astray
Does it matter anyway?

Hopeless hurdle stumble fall
If you see no good in me at all
Stretching out like Chinese dragons
Two dead horses drag my wagon
Poles between these sagging lines
It's not the best in us that rhymes

Short of anything that works
Could there be success or triumph over hurt?
A chance to change when things get broken
Who can tell if you’re only joking?
Graceful lady with the lamps
In the back of my mind you’re setting up camp
