lyrics

He met her in the corner bar
At the Hotel Royal
He said I've got the keys to a stolen car
And a diamond ring from a plastic bubble

And everyone just shook their heads
Someone dropped a glass
I've got two mad kids and form she said
How long could this dance last?

And all the fallen angels ask
How long could this dance last?

She met him after closing time
Took his restless hands
There's room she said in this heart of mine
But I dunno about the caravan

"I got things", he lied. "in an old suitcase..."
It was on her lips to ask,
"How many seconds in a sweet embrace?
How long could this dance last?"

And all the fallen angels sing
How hard to tangle is a ball of string?
And how deep are the wrinkles in a looking glass?
How long could this dance last?

Well he drank from the river of her breath divine
And they jumped through puddles and threw stones at signs
And abandoned the car at some lover's leap
with the ring in the bubble underneath the seat

Then they went on back the way they came
Stopped for a giggle on some lover's lane
Pumpkins, white mice, slippers of glass
Who knows how long dances last?

And all the fallen angels sigh
How hard to swallow is a sweet lie?
And how deep are the questions that lovers ask?
How long could this dance last?
