Over the Rhine - Hush Now (Stella's Tarantella) lyrics

Hush now my sweet little noisy boy There is trouble enough in the world Pick up your feet little lazy boy Come dance with your little girl Spin me 'round this kitchen floor Like a carnaval Troubadour I know we're only two-bit clowns In a one-ring circus But make me a little bit dizzy boy Swing me on your trapeze When I'm in the arms of my dreamy boy It still makes me weak in the knees Right here on this record player Is our scratchy song We're alone Slide trombones like an orchestra Full of fortune tellers Come now my sweet little breathing boy I'm listening hard to your heart It's as strong as a lion's boy Let's leave here and make a new start I remember once you said Lying in this bed The past is dead Everyday is a one-act play Without an ending
