The names were changed to protect the guilty
A drink or two or twenty later,
One step over there, two steps over here
Drink to lie, one day it becomes the truth
One step over there, two steps over here
I don't know whether it's a dream or reality
And it comes and goes, and it rises and falls
Forever and ever and never more
Dancing, the eternal return without any movement
A hellish waltz
This dance no one knows
Is more intense than a prayer
A secret kept and never told
It's only beginning, it won't ever stop
Choose your couple
Look for your place
Eye to eye, hold hands
And let yourselves be carried in the ballroom
