Anywhere But Dancing

Downing all the gossip under neon lights

Sweating through a T-shirt on a Tuesday night

A pirouette to reel you in

Heart to heart and skin on skin

Hands beneath a T-shirt on a Tuesday night

I've been searching for the airs and the graces

I've been looking down the river of changes

I stare into the mirror to find the face you used to wear

But it isn't there

And now he takes you anywhere but dancing

Anywhere but dancing

All the greatest stories are in black and white

And the colours have been fading on the edge of mine

Eye to eye, to and fro

Are we ever gonna go

Tripping the light fantastic on a Tuesday night?

I've been searching for the airs and the graces

I've been looking down the river of changes

I stare into the mirror to find the face you used to wear

But it isn't there

And now he takes you anywhere but dancing

Anywhere but dancing

And I don't know what is worse

The kindness or the curse of dancing on my own

I've been searching for the airs and the graces

I've been looking down the river of changes

I stare into the mirror to find the face you used to wear

But it isn't there

And now he takes you anywhere but dancing

Anywhere but dancing

Ooh-ooh, anywhere but dancing

Anywhere but dancing
