'And we dancedlike a wave on the oceanromancedwe were liars in loveand we dancedswept away for the moment by chanceand we dancedand danced and danced...'I can't count the numberof dances we had, Lory,which we thought might be our lastLike a macabre ritualthese dances we had, Lory,Russian roulette and musical chairsOnly in these dances we dancedthe empty chairs grow in numberwe fanatically clung to each othersurrounded by the ghosts of friends already deadMoon, pier and dirty sea waterand you Lory in my armsdancing to the Hootersnot talking about, yet desperately wantingyet another chanceyet another dance'and we danced...'
