lyrics

We chanced upon the moment whilst swaying in the dark,

Under a burst of red neon like blood rushing from the stars,

We touched - hip to hip.

You spoke, I bit your lip.

The cold stone along the pavement gave haste to my heels

And the contours of your palm were like lines sketched so fine.
So I took you to my chamber for a little tumble:

Nothing more than that, just our bones bound to crumble

In lust - hip to hip -

You drank, I took a sip.

Forgive me if I kiss you, forgive me if I confess,

My pulse won't forsake me; my intentions are the best.

What I'd give to come to know you.

Forgive me as you lay me, forgive me as you undress.

I need no liquid courage, but I’ll have some nonetheless.

Yeah there’s plenty of time to be sober when we’re older.

To the Bed Dancer, skin washed in wine,

Head is just a way to break the ice.

To the Romancer, all torn with fright,

Hands are just a means to hold on tight.

She told me she used to look up to her father,

But the turn of his coat meant that she never mattered

To him. So her 
Faith in men was lost.

He stood in the dark as I chose to roll over.

There was more than just heartache hidden amongst

Those sheets. For me

A fuck is just a fuck.

To the Bed Dancer, all washed in wine,

Head is just a way to be polite.

To the Romancer, all torn inside,

Tongues are just a means to say ‘Goodnight’.
