Hang up your dancing shoes, hide in that secret place Play that song of empty charm of empty time and space You're a tired ballerina in a musical box When the key unwinds you have to stop when the music stops So you can find your way, I'll leave a gaslight burning in the window Do you remember, do you recall, the smell of school dining halls and backstreet brawls? I was a twenty first century kid Casanova With a lover's patch and freestyle charm we went arm in arm I remember the autumn leaves I remember those times In cold October air kicking cans and buying time I recall our old town, the place I used to work The boy just trying to throw some magic down upon the world But you can't dance forever, the last waltz is over And most of all as I recall the final line upon her lips
