lirik lagu rich krueger - waltz (terpsichore)
she throws back her head and she laughs
her hair is as wild as an arsonist’s dream
i wake and brush off the cinders
she turns and whispers, ‘ain’t life a scream.’
and i reach for the floor, and struggle with my shirt
over the last cigarette
oh, she never wastes time
i find it’s already burning
i probably should have guessed what that meant
and she shrouds herself in a damp sheet
she stands in the moonlight, her eyes start to gleam
she says ‘let’s run up the iron escape’
and throws up the window
i follow the steam
and we lie on a rooftop under an infinite ceiling
littered with stars
oh, this may not be freedom
but at this point in our century, pal
i’m not sure freedom’s gotten us that far
and then she starts in on a waltz
the kind you don’t hear anymore
where you grab your best girl
you lead her out of the door
out on the veranda
your head swims with fever
there’s a pain in your chest
and the bright paper lanterns around you
light softly her br~~sts
then she pulls a bottle of wine from a smokestack
the way rain’s conjured out of thin air
and i’m feeling more strung out than jesus
three days before easter
she slices a pear
and then unwinds her gown
and dozens of roses appear
as if from nowhere
and i’m thinking out loud when
christ looks back on the garden
does he wonder, ‘should i have taken the dare?’
and the city spins round in a waltz
the kind you can’t feel anymore
your face is painted blue
you’re hardly breathing at all
and the last thing you remember before it all goes gray
are the b~st~rds who kissed and betrayed you
the lovers who missed you
and one or two times you got laid
ah she’ll come and sweep off your hat
she’ll howl in your alley
she’ll lead you back from h~ll
she wields the wind with the full force of tenderness
and you pray to god she always will
she gave you a gift
a song that preys like a hawk on a wing
it’s a question of vision
and when she lets loose her talons, boys
that’ll be the last time you sing
and in the distance there’ll be that waltz
of things you can’t talk of these days
the loves best unspoken
loves that have been driven away
loves spilt in a barroom
but i’ll stand on that bar and raise a glass
to the time that would frighten the sober
if they’d only f~cking well ask
ah, what we need here is a waltz
la di da da da….
