The Last Dance

The last time that we danced, midnight at the Texaco
In the car headlights like Luna moths or extraterrestrials
You said you've never been no use to anyone
But I can feel within your porcelain a certain kind of love
Is this what they call dreaming?
I feel like you're breathing

If only you take my hand
If only you take my hand
If only you take my hand
If only you take my–

The night dripped into morning
The black minute does end
I tried to swallow the clock
But we had to run before the sun caught us waltzing
One day they'll understand
One day they'll watch us dance
You angel in a cage, shadow on the stage
Unholy kind of accident
I've heard they call this loneliness
I crave the world through your fingertips

If only you take my hand
If only you take my hand
If only you take my–
You take my hand

They've caught us out
This is the last dance
See, I've never been anything
But another freak show

If only you take my hand
If only you take my hand (you take my hand)
If only you take my hand (you take my hand)
If only
And if only

I thought I was dreaming
But I am made of porcelain
Unholy kind of accidents
Happen when the puppet cuts the string
Happens when the puppet cuts the string
Cuts the string
Cuts the string
Happens when the puppet cuts the string
Cuts the string
Cuts the string
