The Last Dance

The confetti has fallen
It's over now we've had our fun
Oh the clothes that we wore yesterday
Now are coming un-spun

Fill your glasses with memories
Cause soon they'll be all that you've won
Cause the friends that we have are
what matters when all's said and done

So take off your coat
Let's have a bottle and float
Through the streets of fair constantine

And when the lamps are down low
And it's the end of the show
And our ships are headed to sea

Oh all that I ask
As we put corks in our flasks
And bade fairwell to fair Terpsichore

When it's time to go
Please save the last dance for me

Do you remember the days
Made of clover and rose colored rain
So sweet and oh shit
Well I'm drunk on nastalgia again

Still what else have we got
When the choir sings it's last refrain
But a pocket of hours
That spill like a runaway train

Oh when the world becomes heavy
With progress and power
And we're too numb even to scream

And when the lights go out
And all we hear are the shouts
Of all breaking apart at the seams

And the horsemen of four
Oh right right through your door
And wake you up from your dreams

Oh promise me this
You'll save the last dance for me

Oh the red moon is rising
Like a dark horse from the cave
White orchids drop petals
Oh on to these roads that we pave

When the rockets flared red
Oh we danced on the tips of our graves
And took to the oak to the book
Oh and pray to be saved

When the rains crashing down
And the world starts to drown
And the rats take to the galleys to flee

And the ship of nightmares
Oh raises it's flags
And demons start pouring the tea

And on the bowtip we gracefully sit
And welcome the water with glee

Oh promise me this
You'll save the last dance for me
Oh promise me this
You'll save the last dance for me
Promise me this
You'll save the last dance for me
