Makin' Excuses

Throw on that old song
Its unchanged melody could calm you just like me
Throw in some dancing
The familiar rhythm clears up that schism
But he refuses, making excuses
You let your hair down, kick off your heels now
Boxing the moonlight, 'til the sunrise taps you out
Your hips shake in rhythm, bare feet in precision
Silhouette in constant motion
Spinning a web to get his attention
But he refuses, making excuses
He won't get down
No no no no no
I can't move to this song
I always move it wrong
I should be gone
I should be running along
No, I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I'm hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I'm not making excuses
I know it's alarming
I think I've come down with something
These are not ruses
I'm not telling lies
I might die
I'm not making excuses
You've got no time for men
A garden of lemons that he planted in his kisses
When he though you weren't paying attention
He's drinking milk so sour
Getting boring by the hour
Silhouette in constant motion
Spinning a web of tired affection
Go in with movement
A stiff stiletto will move repetto
And it's so fleeting, bears repeating
I think you're making it up (x2)
I can't move to this song
I always move it wrong
I should be gone
I should be running along
No, I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I'm hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I'm not making excuses
I know it's alarming
I think I've come down with something
These are not ruses
I'm not telling lies
I might die
I'm not making excuses
No, I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I'm hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I'm not making excuses
I know it's alarming
I think I've come down with something
These are not ruses
I'm not telling lies
I might die
I'm not making excuses
