A cheap one
|
To take you from here to heaven
|
Do you believe that that will do for you?
|
A quick one
|
To unwind the slow turning hours
|
Do you believe that that's what you deserve?
|
|
You touch my arm with your hand
|
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
|
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side
|
|
And I'm tumbling, tumbling
|
Out of the open arms of sin
|
Tumbling, tumbling
|
From ragtime to rags again
|
|
Listen
|
I'm thinking words I'm not saying
|
This is not the time to betray my desire for you
|
|
I'm sorry
|
I led you into my indecision
|
I was hoping that you could wash my confusion away
|
|
You touch my arm with your hand
|
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
|
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side
|
|
And I'm tumbling, tumbling
|
Out of the open arms of sin
|
Tumbling, tumbling
|
From ragtime to rags again
|
|
Parting
|
Torn from your side with a whisper
|
We stare at the clock aware that it's too late
|
|
Trust me
|
Someday we will be lovers
|
But somehow I wish that I'd shared a cheap one with you
|
|
And I'm tumbling, tumbling
|
Out of the open arms of sin
|
Tumbling, tumbling
|
From ragtime to rags again
|
