Infant Tango Lyrics

I interpret the lyrics as possibly being about unrequited love. The "infant tango" is possibly a reference to courtship (the "tango" you do before you settle down with someone), and I read the line "all that infant tango is a dance for you" as being the singer saying that he's done so much for his lover. The lover watches and sees the singer's infant tango, but does not put forth the effort to requit his advances.

Side note: Absolutely love this song, it's like listening to funk music from the nine circles of Hell (in a good way).
