Lyrics

Future Ghost

[Verse 1]

There she goes

In Sunday clothes

My future ghost

Missing me most

Head to toe

Over-exposed

And undercoat

Of acetone

The clock resorting to thievery

Whatever else I expect from me

A Pollock spatter of bravery

Cuz what's eating her now's got a taste for me

[Chorus]

I'm dancing for my life

Am I getting it right

Don't let me down now

Keep spinning me round and round

I'm dancing for my life

Am I keeping in time

Don't let me go

Don't tell me the dance is over

[Verse 2]

There she goes

In fur and pearls

My future ghost

Is all a show

What I've done

And how I chose

I ask, I'm told

I'm not to know

The clock resorting to thievery

Whatever else could you want from me

This starlette's taking the time I need

To feel like I'm taking the time I need

[Chorus]

I'm dancing for my life

Am I getting it right

Don't let me down now

Keep spinning me round and round

I'm dancing for my life

Am I keeping in time

Don't let me go

Don't tell me the dance is over

The dance is over

The dance is over

[Chorus]

I'm dancing for my life

Am I getting it right

Don't let me down now

Keep spinning me round and round

I'm dancing for my life

Am I keeping in time

Don't let me go

Don't tell me the dance is over

Don't tell me the dance is over

Don't tell me the dance is over
